Abstract
A low centroid canoe seat support is provided which is mountable to a canoe and that receives a boat seat having standard three-quarter inch post pin. As the support is compatible with standard post boat seats, the apparatus allows the rider to customize the canoe to meet his or her individual comfort and mobility needs without increasing the likelihood of a capsizing event. The low centroid canoe seat support comprises a support, a standard post receiver, a stiffener plate, and a mounting means.
