you need a stand up or high rise pedestal, and a pedestal seat. Look again, Cabelas has several to choose from. I actually will put my pedestal in the back of the boat for rough water rides - you stand up and your knees and ankles can absorb the shock easily. Keeping you knees lower than your hips when in sitting will also encourage a neutral spine posture - a good thing, vs. the rounded - out posture of lumbar flexion that the seats in a boat will typically encourage. Utilizing the stand up pedestal does this automatically, just remember not to lean back on it and slump or round out your lower back.
