Question/Advice -- General Perception pescador swivel seat mods?
Does anyone have any background on a mod to create a swivel seat on a perception kayak, or know of one after market that might fit?

Only kayaking a few months but now have two sit ons, have been out on 6 lakes and a river. Wish I'd gotten into this years ago

A beautiful morning trip around a winding lake. The colors were really popping and the leaves are just starting to fall. This was not typical for northern Wisconsin in October, but I'll take it! The hubs wore shorts! And I'm refusing to remove my racks yet - if its over 50F, I'm going out!

Feeling especially grateful for October paddles before it gets too cold! Despite what they say about Seattle, I believe there's only been 1 fully cloudy weekend day since June when I started training my pup to come for the ride.

I'm saving up for a kayak but I need to know which one to save up for. I mostly kayak in rivers and small to medium lakes, but I occasionally will kayak in something as big as Lake Michigan on a calm day.
So, I really like maneuverability. Last week in a rented kayak I spent like 10 minutes trying to get under a branch to remove a fishline that was tangled up. I was working against a current in a river in a 10 ft kayak. So, I don't think I want longer than 10 ft.
The Sorrento has the drop down skeg which I'm hoping would help with large lakes or costal kayaking, and honestly in deeper rivers too. The Sorrento also has a flat bottom which in rivers and small lakes with hidden logs under the water is nice bc then i can slide over them without as much risk of tipping.
I guess i'm asking am I missing anything? I'm about 5'6" and 150lbs. I don't want to fish. I most just like kayaking for exploring, relaxing, and seeing wildlife. Is there a better kayak than the Old Town Sorrento 106sk? Is there a different brand that's a better deal with basically the same features?
Oh and the rented kayak I was in was an old town but I couldn't tell you the model. I used to have a kayak that I had to sell. I was a cheap one from Dick's sporting goods. I only took it out on small lakes bc that's all I felt that one could handle safely. As far as my experience goes I've kayaked a lot. Mostly with borrowed kayaks tho. I consider myself an intermediate kayaker.

A lovely autumn day at Lake Toya in Hokkaido, Japan. Perfect weather for the first launch of my Night Heron. I didn’t go too far as I don’t have the float bags or spray skirt yet. She slips through the water beautifully. A dream come true.
