: 1.Dose it cover the scupper holes completely?
: 2.Did you get it on line?
: 3.Do you use it under your seat or is it meant to replace the traditional strap on kayak seat?

It covers them half way on a Scupper Pro. If you wanted "0" obstruction, you can cut a small section from each side. I begged Surf to Summit( one of our sponsors) to let me demo one. I noticed when I fished w/ Johnny Ceviche, and a few others, that they mounted their own "pad" there. You still use your kayak seat. With the seat on, the pad of course sits just under it. The seat is pretty thin, and compresses further once sitting down. They make 2 kinds, one more firm than the other (mild and spicy).

I'm not sure which dealers regularly stock these. I'm curious myself. If you're interested, you can always visit the manufacturer's web site catalogue.

: : This is pretty cool. I just put one on my Scupper TW. It doesn't compromise any stability because it's such a thin pad. Though it does make for a much more comfortable ride. If you were worried about covering scupper holes, I suppose you can just cut part of the pad away obstructing the holes. 3M worked with Surf to Summit to come up with a good adhessive. I'll warn you, once you stick the pad on, it's not coming off. I don't think this is a fix for real wet rides, though it may raise you up out of the puddle 1/4".
