    Seat lowering

    Has anyone cut the aluminum pole a few inches to lower the seat? Good idea or bad idea?

    my 67 16 had the driver bucket mounted directly to the floor it was a more in the boat feeling it was stationary so if you want to swivel or slide you need to make sure you leave enough room to operate them
    When the sky is grey,look out to sea.
    When the waves are high and the light is dying,
    well raise a glass and think of me...

    I wouldn't do it if you get lively in the chop. Your sciatica will thank you.

    I removed the sliders, and mounted my seat directly to the pedestal plate, it lowered the seat at least 2", and they still can swivel. It gives a more stable "in the boat" feeling for sure, I personally like it better.

    I cut my seat post about 1.5". There is no negative to doing it. It puts you "in" the boat a bit more.
    Why is faster never fast enough.

    The guy from Norway did it to get down behind the windshield. His boat runs over 100 mph. I personally like sitting higher as it makes it easier to spot debris and to read the water.
