I have a Dagger GTX with a dagger C-1 insert installed. Does anyone know if the Mike Yee three point double strap system will work with my dagger insert?

It should work fine....
I had an X in the past with Mike Yee outfitting (only so far as the straps and anchors went) and I see no problems with using a dagger pedestal. The crotch D rings in a dagger set up are more or less the same as the crotch anchor used in Mike Yee's. This means the only thing you really need to add are the forward anchors for the knee straps.
I was pretty happy with the three point system, and still use it in my OC, but honestly I think a better bet for c1 is a bulkhead in addition to the original high thigh straps. It just seems a little more comfortable and secure in the end, and I found it a bit difficut to keep the straps from slipping (so the knee tightened and the thigh loosened). Just my opinion.

Thanks for the response
Thanks for your response. I live outside of Tulsa, OK. C-1 boaters are as scarce as hens teeth around here. Over 13 hours of driving to good water such as the Arkansas River, CO or the Ocoee in TN. So my exposure to other Cboaters is limited. Started Cboating about 4 years ago learning by watching my Kent Ford C-1 VHS tape. I just came accross this web site earlier this year. It's "THE BEST" (thanks Sir Adam).
I agree the bulkhead would probably work great (I've only seen pictures) but it looks like it blocks my bow storage area. I need the room to carry a pelican case for my digital camcorder.
Reading this forum, I see I share the common problem of leaving my seat when upside down and I've been trying different things to keep me glued to my seat but of course let me out without too much effort if need arise.
Your comments on the Yee system " knee tightened and thigh loosened" makes me think I will try using a knee and thigh strap independent of each other.
Sounds like I need to make the next Armada and see some of these outfittings first hand. Thanks again.
