Hey everyone ... I picked my new boat up in February and after the 4th trip out doing the engine break-in the wife was not happy with the seat height.
So to ensure my happiness and mainly to keep my wife happy I swapped it out with the following and cut 3" off of it with my power cutter:
Garelick 75530 12" Anodized Ribbed Seat Base
These guys have it for $59, I paid $80. http://www.boatersland.com/grl75530.html
Cutting and swapping out took about 30 minutes.
Works great and no more sitting on legs, pillows, towels, etc ... The nice thing is you can leave at 12" or cut down to your liking.
I tried the 12" height and it's wayyyy too high, so we found cutting it down to nine inches was good for both of us.
Just remember to measure, measure, measure, and cut once or make incremental cuts until you get the right height.
By the way, the adjustable one starts at 12" and goes to 17", so it would not be an option.Last edited by 168rod; 08-14-2014 at 08:50 PM.

It's the same exact base and tube as what came with the boat; just taller.
No mod required, just cut down the height and screwed it in.
Garelick is the brand that came with the boat.
It was real easy to cut and swap out.
I didn't take a before and after shot; but, going out tomorrow and I'll lift the seat off and take a pic; but, it looks like a factory pedestal.2014 Mojo w/Surf Flow
