I recently purchased a lightly used 1850 sportfish. It has the convertible fishing deck in the bow with a snap lock pedestal. The pedestal mount is actually 6 or 8 inches below the level of the fishing deck when it is folded out. The problem is that the pedestal is too short for me and I prefer to be able to stand up with a butt seat for casting and jigging. The tallest snap lock pedestal I can find is 30″ I need something that is 36″ to 40″ because of the convertible deck. I have looked for extensions or for conversion kits to convert from a snap lock to a king pin type of pedestal but with no luck. Anybody out there with suggestions?
