[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 184185, member: 55"] I'd certainly be willing to bet that center of gravity, as far as boat stability is concerned, plays no bearing in that recommendation. The base and pole (as well as what the base is fastened to, as a 7 inch square, even when installed with good backers, does put a lot of stress on the material underneath) can't withstand the force of 200 pounds of angler in them while bouncing down the lake. Putting the seat directly in the base, without the pole isn't a big deal, as you don't have that extra 13 inches of lever trying to pry the base out of the floor. [/QUOTE]
