You sit down to make a long drift and feel that familiar flex under the seat—something every Pro Angler owner eventually notices. The One Objective Hobie PA 12-14 Seat Reinforcement Kit addresses the known stress point at the seat brackets by spreading load across thicker material to reduce cracking and long-term hull damage.
After long days of standing, sitting, and shifting weight while fishing, unsupported seat brackets concentrate stress into a small area of the hull. These reinforcement plates spread that load across a wider footprint, keeping the seat solid and the hull quiet—even after seasons of hard use.
Once cracks start, they don’t get cheaper or easier to deal with. Reinforcing the seat mounts now helps you avoid downtime, warranty headaches, and structural issues that take you off the water.
If you see flexing, stress marks, or early cracking around the seat bracket mounts, this kit is strongly recommended.
