What's The Height On Your Boats Stand Up Buttseat Seat?

[tcbass]

If you have a boat that has a front deck stand up butt-seat like most bass boats come with, what is the height?

 

 

 

I am looking for an adjustable pedestal for my boat and seeing that a lot of the max heights are 24-30". Well, I measured my waist (my new buttseat is to sit on or lean against) and it's 38", and I'm short. So 24-30"  would seem really short. Maybe I'm measuring it wrong or something.

 

 

 

So, what is the average height for stand up buttseats on bass boats?

 

 

 

 

This is the seat I have.

....not high enough lol. I'm 6'6" and I haven't found a pedestal tall enough to use a butt seat exactly the way it was intended. The 24" to 30" will fit most people though. Remember if you're standing straight up you aren't leaning, and if you're leaning you won't be as high off the ground (floor in this instance) as you would be if you're standing straight up.

Ok. Good to know. I'm 5'3", so the 24-3" should work for me?

you also have a spring underneath the seat itself adding 2''-3''. my dad is 5'5'' his post is set lowest and i removed the spring so the seat goes in further.

Basically, what is your pants inseam?  That measurement is a good place to start.  Get an adjustable post because you will want to vary your leaning position from time to time during the day.

Not all adjustable pedestals have the spring. The power pedestals have the seat flange connected so the seat bolts right to the pedestal.

I'm 5'7" and I have the bps power pedestal that adjusts from 22-29" and it is the perfect range for me. I generally have it about 3" from the lowest point.
