I have a new (to me) 2016 Dauntless 180, with a stern bench seat with folding backrest. When sitting on the seat, I find the backrest uncomfortable -- the angle is straight up & down. Comfortable seats usually have some "angle" to the backrest, say 20 degrees back from vertical. It appears that this angle is determined by the 2 gas shocks on the ends of the backrest; they are about 10" extended and 7" closed.
Has anyone else had this issue? Tried replacing the stock gas shocks with slightly longer ones (say, 11" extended and 7" closed)? Where do you find these parts? Thanks in advance for any help, Jeff.
