Replacing seat in inflatable dinghy

[ghostlymoron]

I have a cheapo inflatable dinghy. The seat is a stupid arrangement that is held in place between flaps in the tubes by laces. This is a very awkward arrangement and I would like to replace it (the seat fixing) with drop in hook type system. I'm assuming I could glass a suitable hook on the ends of the seat but any suggestions for forming a suitable arrangement for it to slot into?

Hi, Look on Ebay they sell pairs of plastic brackets which screw on the underside of the seat and then drop over the loops attached to the dinghy, they are about £ 11-00 pair inc postage. if you search ( dinghy seats).

why go to all that trouble, just sit on a fender.

I've found these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/inflatable-bo...tEquipment_Accessories_SM&hash=item1e613c9cf9. Can I glue on the corresponding flaps to the dinghy?
