And yes the boat is now very well balanced with fuel tank and battery up front, and you might have noticed the trolling motor is on the opposite side from the rear driver's seat which also helps to balance it out when it is just me in the boat.The front seat is very stable because of how I mounted the base on a large aluminum plate across the 3 cross member braces, and the rear bolts of the seat base go through the plate and through the center cross member and is real solid. It is not going anywhere. And that particular seat pedestal does not lower. It is a fixed pedestal. I may change it out down the road, but I had two of these on the shelf and just used one of them out of convenience. It is not ideal but it works.But the problem is that seat spins real easy and if someone is sitting on it and I am going full speed, they could spin off it and could be hurt, so for now believe it or not, I have added a seat belt for anyone insisting on sitting up there going full speed. Usually they either sit on the bench next to me, or sit on the edge of the deck for now. I am considering adding in a removable rear facing seat which will sit on the bottom of the boat and either bolt up or clamp onto the deck cross member.In Florida if you want to tow anyone behind a boat on skis, or wakeboards, etc. you gotta have a rear facing lookout besides the driver, so that is on the list.</blockquote>
