SurfNewb 5 Posted August 17, 2022 Report Share Posted August 17, 2022 Has anyone installed a riser for the captains chair? I am 5’10’’ and when surfing it’s hard to see over the windshield / bow of the boat without standing or kneeling. I have a friend with a Malibu who ordered his with a seat riser, and it’s really nice to have a taller captains chair. I use the bolster, but it’s still not tall enough. For reference I have a 2019 F21 Tomcat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SurfNewb 5 Posted August 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 @turps73 Where did you find the 9 inch mount? I am wanting to get this done ASAP before my trip coming up in 3 weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lanzo 7 Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 I believe these boats use the Atwood Swivel-Eze pedestals at 2-7/8". I am looking to raise mine about 4-5" as well. I am not sure exactly what height is the standard part. I just need to measure. I have a 2018 B52 21ft. The older boats used a Springfield Pedestal, also at 2-7/8". I'm not sure if they are compatible or not. http://old.attwoodmarine.com/store/product/278-proseries-pedestal-system SurfNewb 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BTown801 26 Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 I put this in my 2016 F22. I got it for $42. I like it. https://www.amazon.com/attwood-278OGY090-1-Pedestal-Base-9-Gray/dp/B07CR5QPFK/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=attwood+278OGY090-1+278+Series+Pro+Pedestal+Base+(-+9"%2C+Gray)&qid=1662600932&sr=8-1 Lanzo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SurfNewb 5 Posted September 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 Thanks @BTown801 I have my boat/trailer down at the shop right now (blew a hub and bearing) so I can’t measure my stock seat post length. does anyone know the stock seat post length? I am looking to add 4-5 inches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BTown801 26 Posted September 10, 2022 Report Share Posted September 10, 2022 @SurfNewb the stock one is probably 4-5 inches. I'll measure it when I get home but this one will give you what your looking for. SurfNewb 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
