    No, but my best guess would probably be removing the slide bracket in favor of a lower stationary one.

    On my next one I will definitely be lowering the seat height. Would love to see someone that's done this already.

    Can't you just take the slide bracket off and then just mount a hinge on the front lip like they did previously?

    So the new brackets on the 17 lower the seats by a few inches. I believe at least 2.5-3 inches. You could try to order these.

    How many inches can you lower it by removing the new bracket so it's flush?

    More then 3 inches. But i am guessing at some point visibility becomes an issue. The consoles are tall.

    Well i am fail, so you're saying they're adjustable? I assumed the seats weren't adjustable at all, didn't even bother to look. Would love to lower mine by a few inches if that's the case. Will have to check this out when i get home from work.

    No he's saying the bracket on the 17 is 2.5-3 inches lower than the 16 model. It's not adjustable vertically.

    I lowered the seat on my 2016 z21. Took the slider off and mounted the seat to 2 pieces of 3/4" square aluminum tubing the bolted them to the mounting bracket. Much nicer ride now. Sit down in the boat and more comfortable
