I ordered this new seatbox last year (August)and got it April this year due to COVID etc but I got it and was excited as at price I got it for was no brainier in my eyes ( but that’s my opinion and as we know everyone is different with there’s)
as I’ve had rive seatboxes before I knew they are heavy but stRudy especially when sat in Trent
I picked my package up and was shocked how heavy it was in the box anyway chucked it in to van got it home and started to unpack and was amazed how well packed it was bubble wrap and a wooden platform on bottom to stop clamps etc getting damaged no wonder box was heavy with piece of plywood fastened to it
also it’s not a guru version my is carbon black and it looks the dogs
so attached legs and sat on it thought right height no extra trays etc needed
love the push insert trays as easier to open and shut with a click
wider seat cushion and loads more comfortable than older seats on rive
footplate seems bigger as done away with bar at back of footplate
underseat tray great if on dry land and it’s raining to store worms etc
and waterproof system works as advertised after rain we had and no leaks on drawers or stack system
also as draws are now deeper than old 30/60 mm draws you do sit bit higher which makes it more comfortable
used it at least dozen times so far and can’t find anything wouldn’t swap on it how it’s set out
only downside is the rsw system don’t fit my old stacks so can’t put them underneath to carry them unless convert them
and does seem heavier than my rive st
guess main test will be come June when I Chuck it in to Trent or Staunton Harold see how stable it is
