Need Fishing Seat Upgrade. Millenium?

[JCreek]

Do any of the power pedestals lock the rotation or do they spin freely?

Ordered a seat and trying to decide which post to get.  Thanks for all the suggestions.

There are models that do, but I can't tell ya which ones they are.  It isn't in the pedestal, it is in the swivel base.   Ski boats have them at the helm.  Pull up on the lever and it releases, push down and it locks every 90° 

I thankfully don't know what effect chemotherapy or other treatments have on ones balance, but I do know that if it's been awhile since you've been in a boat your balance will be sketchy for awhile.  But after you are out a few times your balance and ability to stay upright improves pretty quick.    Alot of people go out once and find themselves staggering all over the boat so they immediately determine that they just HAVE TO have a seat.  If they would just tuff it out for a day or two they'd find out that they can stand up there and fish just fine.   Like anything else it is just something that takes a bit to get comfortable with.  

I used to roller skate all the time, but if I went tomorrow I guarantee I'd be hanging on to the fence for dear life and probably still bite it right quick.   Give me a few hours though and I bet I can have it mastered again.  Same deal.  So my recommendation is to not be a puss and reach for a crutch right away, get out there and give yourself some time to get your sea legs back.  Quit accepting the "I'm old and feeble" BS so quickly!  I knew a 77 year old roofer with asthma and prostate cancer that could walk up 34' aluminum extension ladders like they were stairs and hop onto the roof with a cigarette in his mouth after puking up a whiskey hangover.
