I bought this old boat that has been a one owner since new and was in remarkable shape. Had a couple of wiring issues and a throttle cable problem that turned out to be no big deal. Only problem is the original seat pedestals are bolted to the seat I want to mount my millenniums on it but the hole in the mount is bigger than a standard pedestal any advise

You can buy the correct pin and flange to fit the Millineum seats. Another option would be to drill or slot the ones you have to fit the seats

The pin and flang are made to the pedestal as one unit and their hydronic one of which no longer goes up and down. when you want the seat out of the boat you have to pull seat and pedestal together

Change out the mount and pedestal to the kind that you need

They sell just the bushing kits for those 1.77” snap lock pedestals,,,I would cut the top off unless it’s already open and install the newer style bushings like my 97 uses,,Springfield makes everything you want for the pedestals ….this is what mine looks like except non hydraulic,,,you have to measure to see what size post you have,,,this is 1.77” snap lock

Could you send me a link to that company if I could find the right bushings that would solve everything

This is what the bottom on the pedestal looks like not it’s not a true locking pin it measures right at two inches

Definitely Not the same 1.77” as mine,,,,I’d call them and tell them what you want,,either a replacement pedestal or something to make it work,,,
