NWWhaler, I'm about 6', and I do most of My cruising standing up. This allows me to look for seaweed, logs, or any thing in the water I may run over. And I do use the seat for sitting while fishing.For me any modifications I make must conform with how i intend to use the boat.The consule is perfect for me, but raising it in the future, mabye.The seat I use more for sitting so raising it would make it more uncomfortable to sit on for Me. And for someone shorter then me, they would have a hard time touching the deck with shorter legs.
