[QUOTE="Makaw, post: 487315, member: 25180"] Thank you! The seat uses a Bass Pro Shops Threaded Pro Pedestal, which adjusts from 22" to 31" high. I'm 6'0" and it's most comfortable probably around 26-28" high, to use as a leaning seat. Regarding crowding, yes, when the trolling motor is stowed and the seat is installed, it is tight to get past the seat (which I use as a grab post). I purchased that style of seat because it has a smaller footprint than others, thus giving me more working room. When the trolling motor is deployed, the bow really opens up, even with the seat installed. Having the leaning seat is nice, but I don't find it necessary because I'm not doing all-day trips, so I started removing it towards the end of the summer and just standing for the 2-3 hours of fishing. I also enjoyed the extra elbow room without the seat installed, so it might be headed to the aft this year as I continue with the build. [/QUOTE]
