I used pad eyes and bungee cords on mine to attach a stadium seat. It works really well and easy to unattach when neededbwp98h wrote:Hey friend gifted me a hand-me-down vantage seat and I’m l ooking for a brilliant solution to attach it to my ancient (2003) Hobie Mirage Hank Parker Outback Fisherman.

Cool idea...here is a vid a saw the other day...
He contacted Hobie to make sure the points the seat are on can support his seat. Just a suggestion to help you out.

Check out how I installed a raised seat on my 2013 Outback. http://www.texaskayakfisherman.com/foru ... p?t=207703
Since then, I have replaced the velcro straps used to hold the back of the seat down with two, one foot lashing straps I purchased here:
