I'm 6'2" and the seat has me right in front of the top of the windscreen, so I'm having to use a cushion or stand.

Has anyone replaced the pedestal with a pedestal that raises and lowers so I can sit above the windshield when I want to. I'd like a more permanent solution than a cushion.

Thanks a lot.

You could look in the marine supply retailers on line. You might find a base and height-adjustable pedestal to adapt to your boat and seat. Some of the fishermen put a pedestal that absorbs bumps. These might sit a little higher and be adjustable. One limiting factor might be how much room there is between the instrument panel and the driver's legs if the seat is raised.

I've considered putting building a box/platform under the seat for same reason....the flip up bolsters are the way to go I'm just too cheap.
