Seat risers

[Natepoppy]

AR 230 jet boat and would like to find something to elevate the seats higher. Anybody now where I can find compatible parts

If you are talking the pedestal under the captains chairs, seach on here for "adjustable pedestal". Many of us have done it, and it's not a hard job. Don't even bother trying to find one that matches the holes in the floor. Just be prepared to drill and tap new holes. It's aluminum under the gelcote and easy to work with.

Every pedestal I looked at gave the distance for the bolts, but @biffdotorg is right, you may find something that is in your price range that doesn't fit the bolt pattern, but it's easy to drill and tap new holes

My tip to you is to remove the current seat post, and measure the distance from one bolt hole to the closest opposite side bolt hole. If you have six holes, perfect, otherwise, draw a circle of the bolt pattern, and measure the diameter (the line splitting the circle in half), or twice the radius (halfway across).

You will likely have either an 8" or a 9" bolt circle. Look at seat posts with that number, and the same number of bolts, for the best chance of success.

I don't know what yours measures, but if my old one is taller, and fits your criteria, you can have it for the cost of shipping, as long as you don't need it instantly - it's at the lake house. I'll take the drive, if needed for an additional $50 to cover time & gas.
