The Outback has two sets of holes to choose from when attaching the seat. You can play around with those to see how they affect your posture. The seat straps can also be adjusted for comfort.

I have a friend who uses an inflatable seat cushion when he goes out in his Outback, but I don't think it elevates him all that much. Aside from that there isn't a built in way of raising the seat. All you have is what PapaDCh said, peddles have a length adjustment.

Had 'em all - Malibu, Tarpon, Ocean Kayak (inc the torque), multiple Hobies - revos - had 3 of them, PA - 2 of 'em, and 1 big waste of money Hobie Adventure Islander that I thought I could fish off of. Now I paddle a 30ft SeaRay, which by the way I damn near had to paddle home from Catalina on Saturday due to bad gas in Avalon.

Seriously, get a Hobie - Sorry paddler's. But when the wind kicks up or you have long distances to travel or need both hands, NOTHING beats a Hobie, especially a PA.

I will be in the market again for a yak, but I do not have space on the boat for a PA, so I'll be checkin' the 'for sale' section on BWE for a used Revo shortly. Hey Echo467 (Eric), you still thinking about selling my old Revo?

Hobie offers a Run and Gun service plan that will tow you to breaking fish.
