I was wondering do you have a picture of the chair setup on that other toon?[/quote]
[cool][#0000ff]Sorry, I did not take any closeups or make any diagrams. I meant to do that for both toons. Bryce has taken all the mods we put on his toon and painted them black. Looks cool.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I am attaching a couple of pics that I cropped from the large file pics I did take. You can see that it is a "pedestal seat", such as those used by bass fishermen on their low slung bass sleds. It is not standard on that "Cimarron" pontoon...which is actually a low priced toon and also not really big enough to do that if you are a big guy. By raising your center of gravity you leave yourself open for a turnover or worse if you get in high wind and choppy water.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I have seen other craft around the country that have taken this kind of toon tricking to a "higher" level. You can buy pedestal seats and mounting brackets almost anywhere boating supplies are sold. All you need is a stable base on your toon, and either a platform or extra framework for your feet. In looking closely at picture number 3, it looks like tall lanky Wes is just using the regular foot rests.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]That toon was borrowed from another fishing buddy. Not his. And he had some "issues" in handling it at first. But, once he got the hang of it he did some good work.[/#0000ff]
