I took a sitdown seat and put it on a bicycle seat power pedistal and cut about four inches out of the pedistal pole. When lowered I can sit with my legs extended and my foot on the trolling motor control. I'm 6'-2" and a regular seat pedistal is too short and gets your legs too cramped up. When running I just raise the seat and it is high enough that you see under it with no trouble. This makes a long day on the water a lot more comfortable for me.

Good luck
