I'm already tired of winter and wanting to get ready for spring. I am really wanting to get my ODC Classic rigged up and ready to go. I've asked Santa for a rod holder but my 5 year old son says I'm on the "naughty" list. lol.

Any one ever raised the seat on an ODC Classic? Or any toon for that matter? I want to raise the seat on my ODC Classic. I don't want one of the standing platforms, I'm not exactly the most graceful of guys and I'd fall off. But I would like to raise the seat about 4 to 6 inches. It would make casting better, but mostly it would keep my backside dry. I've looked at and want one of their swivels and the seat to go with it, which might raise the seat a little, but not enough for me. here is the links.

I'm thinking I'll need to build a bracket somehow to get the height I want. The classic has a 375pound capacity and while I do weigh way to close to 300, it is very stable in the water and I don't believe a few extra inches would make it top heavy. At least I hope not. I don't carry alot of gear with me, so I don't think I am over capacity, but my backside does get wet in the seat.

Any thoughts? Do you think I'll have to raise the oar locks too?

thanks in advance,
