The Sitbacker seat was fine, for 1/2 day trips. If I sat in it for an all-day trip, it hurt my lower back. I needed more lumbar support.

Plus, I've got a like-new GCI SitBacker if anyone is interested it it!
Clay Walters has a seat like mine in his Old Town Pack. He uses snap pins instead of bolts in the hinged part of the folding seat so he can remove the seat back, thus making the seat below the...
I went from the stock seat, to this (sitbacker):

To even better with this:

I store my 119 on a rack in my basement, upright, sitting on two 2x4 boards under the hull about where the thwarts are. Nothing in the boat but a tackle box and some small stuff. No problems storing...
I have a Mohawk dbl blade canoe paddle too that I use in my 119. Love it. Works very well over the gunnels of the canoe and pushes the boat along great. Clay recommended it to me a year or longer ago...
west fork,
If your home waters are rapid-filled, you just might be better off with a SOT yak. The waters I fish most have a few rapids, but anything heavy, I portage in the 119. The Coosa is a fine...
I think you ought to seriously consider the OT 119 solo canoe. I've hear several people state that the 119 they tried was "too tippy" and not stable enough. I always thought that too...until I got...
What they said...
Good to see you back on here Derek! We need to hook up for a day's float sometime before cold weather sets in.
Please excuse what may be a noob question, but I've been a fly fisherman for many years and recently started venturing into the world of hardware fishin a bit (no, havent packed away my fly gear, but...
Sold. Please delete! Thanks!
I've got a older version of the Pentax Optio (w-30) and I've used and abused it for several years with zero problems or complaints. If I was buying a new waterproof camera, it would be another Pentax.
That is indeed very cool!
Nice work! Looks great.
I gotta ask....will those colors get you past the 50 yard line? :)
Sweet! Thats a big cat!
I stood up a bit in my 119 on this trip. Gonna take a little more getting used to for me to be able to do it much.
Had a Coosa...sold it after the first trip. Not a bad ride, just not for me. The...
Hooked up for a day of fishing with Clay this past week. The weather was beautiful, hot in the daytime sun, but beautiful. Water conditions were great, fishing great and fellowship fantastic. Lots of...
Nice going, Jeff! Topwater on the long rod is mucho fun!
Been a rough early season for me up here....everyday I get off work it seems to either rain or rained the day(s) before and the rivers are...
Welcome aboard! I'm up in the western NC mountains and enjoy chasing smallies on the fly rod. Glad to have you with us!
Thats a dang good deal right there! If I had some extra $$$, I'd be on it!
This worked wonders for me...your mileage may vary:
I cannot take credit for this modification, as I learned it from friends.
I took my 119 and stripped it clean, as in I removed both thwarts...
I second (or third) Jeff's reply!
I haul my OT 119 and my Outcast PAC1000 in the bed of my 4WD Chevy pickup.
Quick and easy!
I'd love to hook up with you on Saturday, but I've got plans already for Saturday.
Be aware that Saturday is the Hatchery Supported trout season opener, so bring your own rock to stand on if you are...
Fantastic!
