[C38] has anyone changed the stern seat?

Tom,
  For a while, we just tied the large West Marine ice chest with the snap-on cushion atop the seat.  Gave a great seat, & was super convenient for cool drinks.
  Later, preparing to cruise to Mexico, we located 2 horizontal LPG tanks on the seat, and covered them with a removable fiberglass/plywood bench, fitted with brackets for 2 removable swivel chairs (snap-in canvas covers the front and rear open areas surrounding the bench.  This is just the right height to allow us good visibility forward.  It absolutely kills the racy look of the original C-38, but was the perch of choice for both of us for over 3000 ocean miles and months of gunkholing in the Baja.  Even now, with several guests in the cockpit, it's still the best seat on the boat.

  I am 6' 5" and my wife is 5' 10" so you would think the stern seat would 
work for one of us, but it seems at least six inches too low for either 
of us. Has anyone out there done something about this?
