They may be find a 100lb kid but forget it for a 350lb 6ft 3in tall man. I even tried using cable clamps to secure the clamps to the sides of the seats and the wire clamps just bent. On all of my boats I've learned to pull out the seats and put in a 3/8" thick stainless reinforcement plate under the seat with four threaded holes with a poly spacer to protect the aluminum from any dissimilar metal issues. I mounted two 6" steel pedestals and two padded seats and they've been good for nearly 30 years now.  With a 36" inseam there's only so long I can sit at the bench seat height so the added 6" of height is a must.</blockquote>
