Thomas, I have made fiberglass seats for others but not commercially.
If fabricating a fiberglass seat is too daunting maybe a foam seat could be an alternative. Those are very easy to make.
Although, even if I find that foam seats are extremely comfortable, I don’t use them.
I always install an electric bilge pump in my kayaks and a foam seat prevents water reaching the pump, behind the seat.
if one does not use the pump than a foam seat is worth considering.
To make a foam seat all you need is a block of closed cell foam, a sharp long kitchen knife and an angle grinder or high speed hobby drill.
I have carved foam seats in about an hour and shaped it exactly to my butt.
Cheap and very good even if they don’t look high tech 🙂

I am not as skilled as you so I do not dare to fabricate a completly new seat. But that would probably be the right way to solve the problem. Do you make seats for others? And does their problems goes away?

so, I’m not the only one that finds the Tahe seat uncomfortable and giving me the “dead legs”.
I decided to remove the seat and make a new one, in fiberglass.
My problem is that the Tahe seat is too short and digs into the legs up front.
The replacement seat is not as “cupped” and the front is lower.
Now I have no more dead legs!
