    Wink Seat Pedestal Question


    I'm probably in the wrong area, sorry if so.

    My cousin and I are pretty good sized men, 6'3" - 6'4", the pedestals on our boat seats are 11" without the lip and 13" with the lip. (Standard I'm assuming)

    We are looking for some extenders, I've seen the different types of pedestals/polls, that extend. They are a bit expensive, but probably well worth the money.

    Does anyone make an extender, about 5 - 6" inches.

    We sit with our knees bowed up and that makes you get tired alot faster.

    Another 6 inches would work great, or even 4 or 5".

    Thanks for the input.

    you can buy up to a 15" post as well. I tried doind the cut thing, but having a two piece pedestal was a little wobbly the 15" post worked great for me I'm 6'2", and under $20

    BPS has them so does Grizzly. Just get the tallest one they make I think is 18". I know they make a 15". Take it with you to the store and lay them side by saide. Sounds to me llike you have an 11". 13" or 15" would make your day go much better!!!

    sac-a-lait, it is an 11" pedestal, so yeah, a few inches sure would help. Thanks

    BPS has a 15". It's in stock in the link above. I also like these in the link below. They are made to hold a lot of weight BTW. I use them almost everyone who is on the water much does. It's the off-set style. NICE

    Great, Thanks for the links. So you recommend the offset, do they work pretty good?
