Front pedestal seat in Tracker

The pedestal seats in the Tracker are standard/stock type which come with it. Even though I fish by myself a lot, I remove the front deck seat and pedestal and put it in the truck. The reason being is I can't see clearly around it. I have to have clear visibility when underway, funny about that. Those "butt" seats appear they may work. I would like some comfort up there instead of standing all the time as well. Plus, one of these days I'm going to fall in. I can get something like that for the Tracker? The pedestal pin is 3/4" threaded into the deck. If you guys have suggestions, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

I just lay my seat in the bottom of the boat til I'm ready for it. Can you do that?

when I am ready to run, I take the seat off and lay it on the floor in front......I leave the post up all the time....

I guess I could do that, but really didn't want anything loose laying around. I'll have to think about that. Thanks for the replies.

Can't remember where I saw it but maybe it was at grizzly jig dunno......but anyway they have a pedestal on the market 3/4 in pin hole that's designed by Bill Dance.. and you can pull a lever and the seat pedestal and all cantilevers down to the floor.....get where your going pull the lever and pull seat and pedestal back up. I have two seats on my front deck side by side and I can see good with them folded down. But when driving slow even with my motor trimed under my bow was too high to see good. I put a Sport SE 500 Stabilizer on my motor and I can hold my front end down low enough to see good even at low speeds....on plane it was never a problem and I can trim on out.

maybe the seat would fit into one of the storage compartments.......

Bungie cords secure loose items in my boat....I always have a ice chest, large minnow bucket on board and usually another item or two

I have 3 seat positions up front. I pull the seat from the pedestal and put it in one of the side holes when running.

I have a "butt" seat in my tracker and leave it in all the time also got a longer pedestal, don't screw in but it fits, don't like to sit to low when fishing.

That's something I would be very interested in Bayoudog. Where did you get it? And, do you have a picture? Thanks.

any 3/4 pin pedestal post will fit in the 3/4 screw in base....they just don't have the extra length where the threads are.

I pull my seat off the pedestal, put the pedestal in one of my rod storage holders( the white plastic kind that hold the rods straight up) and sit the seat in the pedestal hole in the front deck. I can see OK like that, but it is in the way if I leave it on the pedestal.

Okay, thank you. I guess I will have to rig-up what I think will work, we'll see. I tend to over-engineer everything for some reason. Thanks for the input.

Randy I am still looking for that one I told ya about that Bill Dance endorses... the seat, pedestal and all cantilever and fold flat to the deck

Thanks G, I really appreciate that.

I have tracker and just pull seat and lay against console in font of me while underway, then put back in when I start fishing

OK Randy....Mr. Engineer....I found it finally....just what you need http://www.fishingworld.com/News/Rea...rtID=000014176

Excellent G! Thank you so much. Exactly what I had in mind, and will most definitely work. That's what I am getting!

Randy can't find a picture but this is the type of seat I have http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shop...SELL_THUMBNAIL

I have a plain pedestalthat I cut to the hight I liked but would get an adjustable one if needing to replace it. I do leave it all the time even on the road.
