Quick Tips:
We recommend using WD40 to make assembly/disassembly easier.
When inserting or removing side frame into or from main frame, try to hold both hands at both insertion points at the same time, and then move side frame inside or outside at equal distances/steps in order to avoid side frame getting stuck under the angle inside main frame. If it happen, step on side frame, spray with WD40 and pull main frame slowly, or use rubber mallet.
Fishing seats can be purchased on Amazon, just search for folding fishing seat. Holes on bottom of seat will match holes on metal plate that comes with frame.
Swivel can be mounted between seat and plate. Just search Amazon for seat swivel.
Also, quick disconnect can be added to easily remove fishing seat from frame. Just search Amazon for boat seat quick disconnect.

Very easy to assemble and put together, it's a straight forward accessory and much cheaper than any other option online. I bought mines separately to adapt it to my own Saturn raft and was not disappointed.

Well built and effective, the only issue was with the spacing on the seat bolts hole slots, they were not precisely spaced to fit standard seat mounts. Easy fix but why should I have to. Easy to set up and use. It would be very desirable if the front seat frame was available individually or as part of a 3 person frame.

The frame arrived promptly after order. Everything was included and it looked just like the pictures on the website. I measured my raft before ordering and it fit as expected from the description. Overall I would give the service and product five stars because it did exactly what it said and I did not run into any issues during the whole process.

Finding a comparable frame was impossible, I assumed this was too good to be true. The price for the quality is bar none. I ordered mined and received it faster than I thought it would, overall I am quite impressed.

My girlfriend and I like to use this as a way to workout. Rowing is one of the best exercises for the upper body and the heart. The frame handles the stress really well and it's a lot of fun being able to take turns rowing with someone.
Assembly was easy, however I did use the tip from the listing about the WD40 so it was no problem. I was surprised how lightweight the frame is, it's easy for me to set it up without a problem.
We are using the regular frame on our KaBoat and it's quite a steal for the price.

I appreciate the design and work put into this frame. With some sweat and elbow grease I was able to extend it's functionality to suit my needs. I use this frame as a platform to help me in fishing and to hold my storage as well as all the other systems in my vessel. I think it's really well priced and quite durable. I will be coming back to update this in a year and let you know how it's going. If you don't hear from me then likely it's still working just fine.
