    Things to help those of us less than 6 foot tall

    OK, I have owed these pictures for a while and I just kept forgetting to post.
    If you are less than 6 foot tall and have one of the boats with non adjusting seats you may feel a bit...stretched to reach the wheel and hot foot comfortably. With my arms so extended I felt like I was not in control of the boat when it was rough out. So, I had steering wheel extension made.

    they made it out of aluminum and I did the crinkle coat to match.

    Sorry for the delay in posting...







    And to have something that I could prop my foot on, I made an extension out of cutting board.

    I kind of have a problem like that on my new C boat but its with the hot foot, the slide is there also and i have the hot foot adjusted as far back as i can get it along with the seat as far up as it will go and still have problems reaching the hot foot, my fishing buddies have said the same thing also, i guess i need to move the slide back toward me about 2 inches but i hate to drill new holles in that new rig since i already have it sold to a guy who is 6'2.
