If you ask the designer about such low seating level, I am sure the answer will be about stability. But with higher center of gravity of seating on vantage seat, and no change on the hull design, it gotta be some trade-off on stability.

So, if anyone has experience of this boat in rough condition I would love to hear the review.

The seat has adjustability to lower all the way down where a normal seat would be. Im almost always in the high position, but if it were to get real nasty, I would drop down. Another advantage of the vantage.
