 Drivers seating in a narrow boat with a huntdeck Id like to see other ideas of seating in narrow boats plz. my boat is a 1644 and I never can seem to get comfortable on a long run. I sit on a mounted ice chest, but always seem to be in an awkward position. Not sure if I need to move forward or what. I hope not because my grab bar would be all up in the way. So if you got a narrow boat, particularly one with a huntdeck, and are comfortable, plz post pics so I can get ideas.
Thanks guys!
Rod

This drives box is working out pretty good for me. It's low but I put my throw cushion on it and its perfect.

Re: Drivers seating in a narrow boat with a huntdeck How tall would you say it is with the cushion in top? I'm wondering if maybe I'm sitting too high/low also.

Re: Drivers seating in a narrow boat with a huntdeck I put a pedestal mount in this boat. Working out great so far. On long runs, I can lean back in seat & prop feet up on cooler, tackle box, etc. Like cruising around in a Lazy Boy now.

Re: Drivers seating in a narrow boat with a huntdeck Seat should not be higher than your gunnel. You will get ejected to the side under right conditions.

Re: Drivers seating in a narrow boat with a huntdeck Looking closer at the pics I think it may be an inch or 2 higher than the gunnel.
