new 170 cc owner

[Streamer]

Hello,

I just bought a 170 cc with a Honda 75 hp. I love this boat!!!

I took it on its maiden voyage on the Rehoboth bay, in DE. It took a chop very well and I was impressed.

The one thing I wasn't big on was the width of the bench seat with the cooler below. I found it hard to swing around to the back of the boat in rough seas. You kind of hang over the side a little.

Therefore I am looking to replace the seat with a pedestal type seat. Has anyone done this, or is there a seat someone might recommend? Currently I am looking at the Todd 1000 seat.

See you on the water,
Jim

Or you can do what one of the members did and install a 190 leaning post on yours

I would just have it chopped and lowered some so that the seat could be used while driving without having to reach so far to grab the helm for in those pictures it looks a little too tall This or you could get an aftermarket leaning post that has ome storage built in http://www.tackletogo.com/taallepo.html

Hey,

Thanks for responding. I will be looking at that type of seat too. I need room in the back.
