[cool][#0000ff]Welcome aboard.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The 420 has previously had only the foam seats, and they work fine. I have not had a chance to look at the inflatable seats so I cannot pass judgment on them. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I have had experience with both foam and inflatable on Fat Cats. The main thing going for the inflatable is the adjustability, for comfort. It also makes them easier to pack up and store in a smaller space, for travel or storage. As you guessed, there is the potential for leaks in an inflatable. I have had those. Not good when it happens early in the day on a serious fishing trip. There goes the comfort. Have also had seam failure.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]My bad experiences with inflatables have been with Outcast and NFO products...normally considered top of the line suppliers. Unless Creek Company has an inflatable seat that is substantially better and more durable than the material in their air bladders I would have reservations about getting them.[/#0000ff]
