Review:

I've been using the Spring Creek rowing unit, which includes this seat/yoke, for years & have used them on both solo and two-person canoe tours up to 84 miles. I also use this setup as my platform for water-based wildlife and nature photography and they have served me well. As to the sea/yoke, I agree with the other two reviews. The seat/yoke has work well both as a seat & yoke, easy to switch from seat to yoke, & is light & strong. Slight complaints = 1) After assembly I've never been able to adjust the unit to a perfectly level fit (torqued) but the seat flattens out as I sit on it. 2) It is difficult to slide the pads as you change from seat to yoke and back. See www.budkovalchikphotography.com for examples of photos taken from my Wenonah canoe.

Once I finally got around to installing the seat yoke on my canoe I realized what a fool I'd been for procrastinating. This system really works. it is strong and comfortable for both carrying my canoe and as a seat. My only beef is the pads are difficult to slide apart so my big head will fit through!

Review:

It was pretty easy to install and makes the best portage yoke I have been able to find in terms of comfort and portaging performance. Since you can adjust the balance point, you can bounce the canoe back and easliy tip it up/down for hills which you can't do as easily with other yokes. It also absorbs the bouncing and bumps and reduces the stress on your sholders. It is tough and has held up to some abuse, even though it is light weight. The stainless hardware is nice. The downsides are that if you let the pads slip too far apart they are very difficult to get back to the center because of the lip where the two tubes slide together. I added another screw on each side to stop this from happening. Also, I removed the bar from my canoe to install the seat - it reduces the stiffness of the canoe somewhat but this hasn't been an issue.
