In the past I have seeked the wisdom of this forum with great success. I am
once again seeking some direction. I purchased a 1990 Maxum 19 ft last
year. The only thing I dislike about the boat is the seating. It has the
folddown seats on both sides. I do not mind the seats anywhere except at
the wheel. It is an extremly uncomfortable seat. I continually had to prop
cushions under me to see. I need to change this while she is in storage.
Where do I go to find ideas? Maybe removing the seat and installing a
captain chair on a pedestal? Looking for ideas, where and how tos.

Thanks all!!

If you have access to the underside of the deck (floor) to which the
current seats are attached, your task is easy. If not, you are going to
have to use marine moly bolts to hold a pedestal to the floor. The deck
might be wood or fiberglass covered wood. You need to seal the holes you
leave behind with epoxy and seal the edges of the holes you create with
expoxy. Beyond that, you need to know the height of the seat that works
for you. If you have a good boat supply store near you, go visit it with
measurements in mind.
