 Suspension Seats 
The original seats were Sunbrella over flat foam over a piece of plywood.  After a few years, they feel like Sunbrella over plywood.  The widest part of the original seats was at the aluminum hinge right at the bottom, causing my pilot seat to interfere with the throttle when I rotated the seat.

It also now easily misses the helm when spun around.  Best part is that it has 3 inches of suspension.  No more bouncing on a piece of plywood.
