Raising helm chairs on 306 Canyon

[Rhumbline306]

I’d like to raise the helm chairs on my 306 canyon and curious if anyone has done this modification.

I’m 5’10” and would like to improve sight lines over the bow when running.
I typically fold up bolster and sit on top of that. This works well for sight lines but not as comfy of a seat.

Thanks.

Can you post a couple pics of your chairs - especially the underside and post hardware? That would help to know what we're dealing with.

Or... maybe you're running with the engine trim too high and/or not using tabs? You might only need to drop the bow a few degrees to make a very noticeable difference

Hi,

Before making any final modifations, I would suggest experimenting with it using 2x4s. If you like it, I would suggest having well made brackets fabricated. I'd even add storage drawers under the seats at that point.
