2 3/8 pedestal removal and hole cover

[Fishin magician]

I have 2010 Bass tracker pro crappie 175 with the 2 3/8 seat pedestal. I’m wanting to remove the entire pedestal and cover the hole because all I do is bass fish and the pedestal base is in the way. Has anybody found a good way to cover or fill in the large hole it leaves.

Tackle Warehouse sells a "Bob's Machine Shop pedestal hole cover" for $29.99. Made from aluminum, o-ring seal so it is just about water tight.
