Do you think lowering

[Taz]

the front seats will set a lower center of gravity?

Silversurfers seats are bolted straight to the floor but mine are lifted slightly
Any ideas before i hack out my front seats

Yup lowering your seats will lower the C.O.G of your boat. Most P20's have the seats bolted directly to the floor except in some ski boats where the obby's seat is mounted higher to make it easier to see the skier. How thick is the padding on the bottom of your car seat's compared with Silversurfers boat seat's. It may be that there mounted a bit higher so you can see over the dash.

Yeh as mine was kitted for sking could be why my seats are mounted 2 inchs higher and i have a nice 4 inch padded cushion for comfort!

Looks like the comfort thing will have to go

[JamesM]

I doubt it will make that much difference but you could try it. I would rather keep the 4 inches of padding between me and the hard bottom of the seat.

In ski racing only the observers seat is sometimes mounted higher. In Red Devil its mounted a good 8 inches off the floor on an ally box.

8 inches - Wow. Must feel like sitting on a throne.
