I went back to the vendor (such a nice guy) and he said it takes a while for them to break in. Apparently they get softer with use. He said it's tuned to a 180-200 pound passenger. That sort of checks out, my fishing buddy is 160 and he couldn't get the seat to move, seems like it should have moved some at least. So I'm going to keep going out and hope it gets better. I'll report back after a few trips.

It's already better, just needs to be a little softer. Even if what I have now is the best it gets, it's a win. I'm just greedy, want a bigger win so I can keep fishing. I really don't know what I'd do with myself if fishing was off the table.

Sounds good. I didn't think it would help much but was wrong. Keep us updated at regular intervals. I'm guessing as I would with anything mechanical, it will get softer with age.
