[cool][#0000ff]Hey Al, if the stuff Petty has will not work, look in the Yellow Pages under "Foam and Sponge Rubber". [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Back when we were still using donut tubes, and wanted to sit a bit higher, we got some of the 4" high density foam and cut it to fit in the available space. It made for a softer ride and did raise us up a couple of inches.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]You don't necessarily need the extra height if you have an elevated bench seat, but the cushioning would help. You might be able to get by with some 2". It would be cheaper too.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The one downside of the foam is that you have to wring it out good after getting off the water. It soaks up a bunch of water and makes for a lot of extra weight to carry if you don't drain it good. Once dry, it is almost weightless.[/#0000ff]
