Default Where Is This Seat Supposed To Be Positioned?

So there are two heights of adjustable Springfield Pedestals I've found, 13 1/2"-20" and 23"- 29". I can sit with the 13 1/2"-20", but it's not super tall. At it's max height it puts the seat just above my butt cheek. When I use the 23"-29" it puts it at the middle of my back and when it's lowered it's too tall to sit on.




*With this pictured Cabelas seat, I was wondering if with the "lean-back" concave side that is supposed to be at your back, butt, or just under your butt cheek? It seems to me that I really need like a 25"-29", but no one makes that. I decided to stick with the 13-1/2"-20".




Did I make the right choice?

You did, unless you don't like it after you use it for a while.

Sometimes it is nice to have a couple of different heights to be able to change your position when needed.

Simple to change posts if needed.

I have about 4 different length posts that I carry in my boat for this very reason.

Be safe

I bought this one from Cabelas for my new Alumacraft.

At its lowest setting its still a few inches too high, can tiptoe up onto the seat only, Im 6' tall.

The bottom of the post is hollow. going to cut about 4" off tonight after work.
