Anyone use a telescoping seat pedestal?

[jjschwi]

I don't have the flip up bolster seats in my 2003 sea ray, so when I'm pulling skiers or tubers, or cruising the lake I find I like to look over my windshield but my seat is to low, just wondering if anyone has any first hand experience with these extension pedestals . Yeah or nah..

I Love it!
Low when it is Cold. High for a good view.

The highest position is the same or a little higher than standing up.
I do NOT feel like I am about to get thrown over the rail as many might suggest.
You sit high but your backside is fully in the seat, unlike balancing on a bolster.
It feels quite secure sitting on a "Stool".


P.S. That is the Admiral at 5'2" in the picture.
Yes, Her feet do not reach the floor at the Full extension of the Pedestal.
Remember, It is Adjustable!

I installed them on my last bowrider and loved them! The extra height allowed me to really stretch my legs, AND more importantly, allowed the Admiral to look over the windshield. I would put them in every boat I owned if it had separate captains chairs at the helm.
