just bought it... I was going to build one this spring... but I am finally starting to figure out what my time is worth in life.... 2 hours of getting materials..... couple hours of measuring and contemplating... couple of hours of fab.... install time..... 125.00 well spent.

IMO, 4 inches is a shade too tall. I did a DIY 4 inch lift with aluminum and wish it was 1 inch shorter. I'm about 6' and my vision is right at the top of the windshield. I end up having to slouch. My 5'8" sister also thinks it's a shade high. 3" would be a better size.

I started out with 2in and at 5'8 it was to short but it was easy and cheep just some 2in square tubing and a few holes.

for those of you with newer than 2011 boats and are interested, did you see this message in the listing:

"The seat and original base not included as pictured. The black anodized seat base is the part for sale on auction. In picture 2 shows the factory seat base and the bolt on replacement. For a custom seat base orders send a message through ebay. this will fit most Malibu boats up to the year 2011. Make sure your seat base is the same as the one pictured. If you have a newer Malibu boat and would like a seat riser kit. Do you have a newer Malibu boat with the new seat configuration? The first one to message me and help me get the info I need to prototype it will get one free. Thanks for looking"

Just sent him measurements and a bunch of pictures, we'll see what he comes up with.

FWIW I should have the prototype for the 2011+ seat base by the end of the month. Should really help out my 5ft 2 driver Edited by oldjeep

We just had a custom foam wedge made to sit in/on the seat. Looks just like it came from malibu This way it's removable if you dont need the height all the time and was only $60

Fid you ever get your protoype? If so, how did it work out? I'm tired of half standing/sitting.

yup. There is a thread here somewhere with the pictures. Works great, seat is a good height for me and my wife is now high enough with the bolster
