Very cool dsthomas! I haven't been down to the boat, but will next weekend. I found a garelick seat slide that has 7" of travel, so that might be an answer for me. When I get down to the boat, I will look to see if there is a similar solution to the manual slider as you found with the electric ...

It is a big deal for me. I am 6’11” and it’s is not comfortable. I will find a solution!

I always think about the user names people choose. I think I've figured out the 611. Lol.
I'm a stand or booster seat guy, never have sat down to drive. I'm going to check this out when we finally get ...

Well you’re either going to need to move the dash or the chair. I’d say the chair is likely easier.

Is this really that big of an issue though? Most people stand or sit with the bolster seat up when underway. I never feel comfortable piloting while sitting with the seat down and I’m a fairly ...

I have an R8S and I’m 6’2” and my knees hit the dash as well. I have the electric seat. I’ve been researching someway to get just an inch more of room as it is really annoying.

Perhaps it was not the pedestal that is different, but there is definitely less room.

Perhaps. But after talking with the dealer, we figured the manual would be easier to modify. Hard to know for sure what is better when there’s no inventory

I just took delivery of our new R8. Love the boat, but the helm seat puts my knees in the dash, it is worse than the R8 I sat in previously. The dealer is reporting that they do not have any options for me, besides remounting they pedestal base which will be messy and involve sea grass repair.

Has ...
