Just my way of letting you know that we really appreciate photos on here. Personalizes things a little bit. Know what I mean? Stay warm. Be safe.

I skippered for a man that owned a charter boat with air seat for the skipper. It was so smooth that I had to deliberately think about my clients comfort to keep from beating them up.

my fishing partner has a bad back and always ends up in pain when riding in the boat in choppy water. Thinking of getting some sort of shock absorbing boat seat pedestal. Has any or you tried them if so what kind and did it do any good in making the ride smoother?
Try using a beanbag chair. Can't beat it in offshore choppy water.

I have had painful rides when sitting in boats. My low back and kidneys can’t take the shock anymore. My boat is a center console and I always stand when underway whether I’m driving or not, and I don’t have pain. My legs / knees absorb the shock. I’m looking to get a leaning post style seat for it. If I had to sit in a lower type seat I would have to get something like the smooth moves seat.

I have smooth moves on my 1875 Lund. They “reduce” the wave height by 2-3 feet. I fish big Canadian lakes and they make a significant difference, but they will NOT make 4-6 ft rollers disappear.

I bought a smooth move for my wife and she loves it. A bit speedy but happy wife happy life.

It can get pretty jarring out there. If you can tolerate a spongy mat on the deck, that can help. Cheap.
