[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 419268, member: 432"] That depends on how tippy it is. If it was pretty stable when you took it out while sitting in the seat you may be able to raise the height a little. If it was precarious trying to keep it from tipping over, no. The higher you go the more it will want to tip. You may have to experiment with it to get it to your liking. It just takes trial and error. I bought a 12' canoe over thirty years ago from Sears without ever having been in one before and I had to take the seats out because it would tip over in instant at the slightest little wave or ripple. You have to paddle kneeling down to keep it upright. I still have it and I am pretty much an expert now at keeping the right side up but I still do not think I could put seats in it. I even fish for big catfish out of it now and have no problems. [/QUOTE]
