Big powerful fish are always a consideration too. My Frontier 10 has a raised seating position but it's the lower of the two available. I tried the higher one and never quite felt comfortable. I also took a very ill advised trip down the big D I must have dumped 6 times.
Too, most of the advertised weights are Wishful thinking.
Ken, thanks for the input ....(from someone that knows what he is talking about !!!!).......Yes...I was talking about the raised seat, not being the best option for ocean fishing and big fish.....but for rivers and lakes, I really don't see it being a problem.......but I still like being as low as I can !! LOL
