I ended up getting the Pro-Force leaning post from cutting edge. I got the 34 inch width and 28 inch high model. If I take out my "box" seat and replace it with the post, I gain 4 inches on each side, and an inch in the back. It should be sweet.

I really did this for my dad (he's having knee replacement in January), and for me (I had ALIF L5-S1 in July), so it gives us something to sit on or stand and hold onto.

I really liked the whale tail that goes around the outside of the leaning post, so you can have an "Oh S^&t" handle when you're sitting.

I also bought all new Smith rod holders, too. The back ones swivel and are for Charlie. I'm pretty psyched.

Thanks to Everyone Who offered advice!
