Seat height

[Chuck Ambrose]

Recently bought a tracker boat, v-15 sc, and I had a slider put on the drivers seat because I am 6' 4" and had a tough time getting behind the wheel. The slider helped out but I was wandering how to add some height to the seat.

Thanks.

add a shim under the slider???

What Mini said, I would use treated lumber, cut them to the right size, carpet them if you want (home depot/lowes has outdoor carpet similar color to the boat carpet), and ensure they are wide enough on all sides to hold...

If you use pressure treated lumber cover it as suggested above, making sure the bare wood doesn't come into contact with any of the aluminum on the boat. Pressure treated lumber contains some copper, and it doesn't get along with aluminum very well, causing corrosion over a period of time.

Thanks for the help. I'll be working on it this weekend.
