I have a 14"Smokercraft with a built in deck from the seat forward at the Front & from the seat back at the Back, I have 2 Pedestals & 2 Regular Seats my father uses the Regular Seat in the Back when he comes a long & I used the Regular Seat once, everyone else like the Pedestal Seats, just have the pole the right length that you can lean against it or partly sit on it, that will really help your balance, I have a Motor guide wireless 75lb Thrust, never been out of my boat yet, lol
