I was thinking of getting a butt seat for the front of my Ranger RT178.  Is there a standard size pedestal I should get?

Hole size or height?

Adjustable height 24”-30” is standard.

Height.

 

You need to take in weight consideration as well:  Normal ~ Up to 200#

                                                                                     Stout   ~   up to 300#

                                                                                 Heavy duty ~ over 400#

I am incredibly glad you started posting here.

Height is a consideration.  Also, consider if you want powered or manual.  I ended up going with the latter because i'm cheap but, I find i rarely adjust the height so it's worked out well.

I use this post Roba. I also have a Ranger RT178. You’ll need an actual seat and the seat mount as well. It’s manual adjustment but @gunsinger mentioned once you find the correct height there is no need to adjust it. I weigh about 205 pounds and I’m 6’2” for reference.

I have the adjustable one on my boat and love it. I like to put it all the way down to get some rest for my legs and sometimes I put it up  to lean my butt on it, I will also turn it around and put it on my back, Now I am 70 years old so that might explain why I like the adjustable one, probably just a senior thing. ?

What seat is that? It seems like the one I have been searching. Looks like a much more quality one than some of the others.

Thank you,
