Trying to decide about ordering bolster seat for my A20, so was hoping someone has some pictures of their bolster seat. Trying to get perspective on size compared to stock, as well as how much higher it puts you up. Also, any feedback? Have searched the forums and it seems like some have had issues with it not holding shape during the day. Pics and opinions appreciated!

I don't use it much, but my wife prefers to have the bolster up. We are both tall so she prefers it up and can sit straight and look over the windshield. I prefer it down and hunch over slightly to look through the windshield. But it is nice to be up higher when driving for surfing or when docking/getting on the trailer.

We use it a fair bit depending on what we're doing. It does tend to squish down a bit and I usually put it up to get a line of sight over the windsheild. Personally I'd prefer the seat up a bit higher to start with.

I'm 6'3 and I use it. I find my height puts my sight line right at the top of the windsheild frame. I'm actually building a frame right now for the seat so my wife sits a little higher up and i can drop the bolster down for myself.

I'm pretty short. 5'8", and I sometimes use it. But it doesn't manage to get my line of sight over the windshield without me craning my neck up. So unless there is a lot of stuff in the water, I just forego using it. Still probably glad I got it, though, as I don't recall it being all that expensive.

I'd like to see finished result. I often ride on Trinity river and there can sometimes be debris...I prefer looking over the window. Wish the seat or bolster was about 1" higher up. I'm 5' 9"

I'm 6'2 and I have it, but never use it. My wife is 5'4 and she occasionally uses it, but not most of the time.
