  • Patent number: 6736083
    Abstract: A low centroid canoe seat support is provided which is mountable to a canoe and that receives a boat seat having standard three-quarter inch post pin. The canoe seat support holds the weight of the boat seat and a canoe rider in a position below the gunwales of the canoe and above the hull of the canoe, thus providing stability and reducing the likelihood of a capsizing event. Moreover, because the canoe seat support is compatible with standard post boat seats, the apparatus allows the rider to customize the canoe to meet his or her individual comfort and mobility needs.
