Any creative ideas to elevate my drivers seat say 6" on my boat noted below... I just can't see over the windshield.. thanks in advance!
 
No, I was thinking about another thick seat cushion to put on top of it.
So... then you have the back-to-back seats? This would be good info to include in the first post! After all, we can't see your seats from where we are. :)

You can build a spacer for underneath the seat box if you want to make it permanent. Otherwise, a cushion is the other option. I think I remember reading somewhere that that is "technically" illegal, though?

Or... look through the glass like you do in your car (adjust the drive trim to help). ;)
 
I used to sit on a square throwable PFD. Worked great.
 
ooh... I like the PFD... it accomplishes 2 purposes! See attached pic... sorry!

These were my old seats, similar to yours.

As I already mentioned, the square PFD worked very well. I had a white one that didn’t transfer any color to the seats.

On my 240 Sundecks, 4 of them, I took the aluminum pedestal post to a welder, and he added 3-4 inches to the post. $50 bucks. That was perfect. The visibility was better on my 270 Sundeck, so I didn't need to do that.
