    Ok and the drivers seat.
    Soon to be installed on the suspension base. Maybe with a swivel if it will rotate.

    On the base.
    I installed the suspension onto the stock base which is angled. I don't know if it is angled for a reason or not. Probably just to cant the seat backwards. Installing a swivel would make me want the swiveling plane parallel with the water or level line.

    I took my boat out today with this installed. Wow, the difference was night and day in the ride! I was just cruising along, medium chop. It wasn't until I noticed my legs bending as the seat absorbed the chop. It was as if you were floating. It was odd.
    I did notice my wife wasn't getting the smooth ride I was. Don't ever say to your wife, I slowed down cause I could see you jiggle she is not fat or overweight. The jiggle was actually nice but it didn't imply a smooth ride.

    Btw, I did remove the original sloped base in the first pictures. It worked against the swivel since the stock seat didn't spin, it leaned back.
    I also wanted the overall height lower. It worked

    Out on the rough water this weekend. I could have killed my passengers from bouncing them. I never suffered any discomfort. I just cant explain how good it feels and works. If you have the room, do it.
    I should be an option in any boat with pedestal seats. Its that good.

    That's really cool. Did it mount to the stock seat base holes? Did you say it swivels?

    I used 2 pieces of aluminum with a non locking swivel in between. Initially I thought a lock was necessary. After many hours in the seat, it is better without a lock. I can turn any direction at any time effortlessly and never unless I intend it.
    I do use the stock holes in the seat. Originally I went with the angled base. It caused 2 problems, it caused the seat to swivel back to center naturally and too much height.
    Since the height is adjustable on the suspension base, I knew removing the angled base would not be a problem.
    I use about 20 screws in the base. Stainless 1" or so.
