[QUOTE="atuck593, post: 184182, member: 4904"] Ahhh....I see what your thinking. The simple physics of it would be that the higher center of gravity while moving faster than 5 mph would allow the boat to tip easier while in motion. I thought that the part (seat pedestal) would simply not be able to handle the stress of moving forward or backward at a higher rate of speed than 5mph. So if the seat was mounted no higher than the bench in the boat is right now I should be ok? Because the center of gravity will be no higher than if the person was sitting on the bench? [/QUOTE]
