Hi all. I'm in the market for a bow rider and would really like a mid 2000s Voyager XT because of their excellent performance.
The only thing I'm not crazy about id the "play pen" style front seating area. I know there is a cavity underneath for storage.
Has any one ever seen or tried to modify the seat and cavity area so people have somewhere to put their feet.
Just kinda seems weird to take adults out for a boat ride and have them sit up there like that. Was it just made for kids
and bikini babes to lounge in?
Wondering how to post images or maybe change your avatar or maybe something else?

Re: Voyager XT
I moved the seat back about 9" and up about 7" for skiing, the primary function of this light and towable boat. I've attached a photo showing imperfect but seviceable work. Ultimately, I may go for a plywood plate epoxied to the deck supporting a lagged in pedastal mount. For now, I used an ordinary foot stool with all junctions reinforced with long deck screws. The front legs are cut off below the front crosspiece which is U-bolted to the Voyager seat pedestal. Rear legs are each toe screwed into the deck. The seat roundtable is, of course, bolted to the top of the stool. The original seating position made about as much sense as a crotch rocket. Port side is, however, suitable for our spotter, "Inflatable Judy."
