Had a revelation about my Wheelboy!

Post by squeakyknee »

I raised the saddle height up 2'' and "HOLY COW!"
Now it IS truly living up to it's name.
The saddle is approx. 1'' below the cockpit rim, and bow stalls are a sinch the initiate. Ferrying isn't compromised so much. I raised the saddle after taking it out @ High water to surf and had a great time(though I was a little worried about ferrying around the crud in fast water) You pretty much surfed where ever you wanted to go.

Raising the seat...

He,he, he..... Yah baby!

To ferry just sit back a bit to get the bow up but paddle in a more forward position with the upper body - if that makes sense!

I love a high seat in the WB and it ferrys on its own when you get dailed in! Sweet!

Oh VERY nice high water pictures too!
