[QUOTE="murphy67, post: 467358, member: 21244"] yellowboat, I always welcome any comments or 2 cents. :) If you were specifically talking about the center seat being a bit higher, I did actually switch that seat post for a few inch shorter one I had left over from my 86 Alumacraft, but even with the taller one, it was very stable. If you meant the driver and front seat, I knew going into this build that those seats were going to be sitting almost exactly (maybe 1-2 inches higher) than when we had seats just bracket'd to the bench seats themselves and we used the boat for a few years with 4 seats and the same motor, etc. Knowing all that, I still did add bunch of grab handles which are great if things get a bit bumpy, etc to further help with safety and a nice handle for the driver as well. (I'll get pics posted a bit later showing the additions) Thanks for the reply! [/QUOTE]
