"I recieved a new "KwikDroP" pedestal last week. The more I lifted and raised it, the easier it got. I do like the new "Hi Tech" look of the unit! I like the idea and the look and how well made it was. My conclusion, it's well made and a great idea and I liked it. I want one on the front AND on the rear of my boat, mainly for looks and ease of putting the seats down when trailering."

"This thing is slick. I have not fished with it yet but I tried it out on the boat in the garage about 40 times. It works just like the video, and it is just that easy, and its compact and strong. When it's folded down you have a clear view. The pedestal folded down is only 3 1/2 " tall. Feels and looks solid. I rocked back in it good and there was no give. When you lean into the seat like setting the hook the pedestal doesn't move at all. The main support in the center has gears on the end and when its raised up it flips over and locks against itself. Looking forward to getting out on lake and using it."

"I too have tried the KwikDrop pedestal on the front of my boat. The thing that initially caught my eye about it was the ability to lower it before you took off to another fishin' spot. I always left the seat and pedestal in because it was too much trouble to take them out. Then I'd always find myself straining to look around the seat to make sure no one was in front of me. When the pedestal arrived the first thing I noticed was how well it was constructed. I'm right at 300 lbs and it feels as sturdy if not more than the original pedestal that came with the boat. Learning to snap it up and then back down took only a few tries and then it was done hardly without effort. When it's in the down position the seat is about 1-1/2 to 2 inches higher than before. The quality of construction and the fact that you can leave the seat on the front and still run the lake without having to look around or over the seat is a real plus. I'm really impressed with the product and would recommend it to anyone that fishes from the front with full seat."

"Received the KwikDrop today. So far, all I can say is awesome! Great quality. I have appointed one of my friends as the director and he will be taking the pedestal and literature with him to rally for all to see. I enjoy helping out and am really going to promote this tool. I am really looking forward to the front butt seat pedestal and have a few other friends already interested as well. It is definitely cutting edge."

"I'm not what you call a HANDS-ON kinda guy. I live pretty close to the Factory and called to see if I brought my Champion up their - if they would install it for me. They said yes and away I went. When I got there - they made me install it. It was simple and just like putting in a regular Pedestal. The name KWIK fits it in more ways then one. They also guaranteed me that I would catch two times as many fish. Then they said the only catch was "that I had to fish twice as much" Im game - I hope my wife is. It does cost more than a regular pedestal, but they also reminded me - it does something that a Stick Pedestal doesnt. Its a great addition to my Champion. Thanks guys."

"I just got my KwiKDrop this weekend and had the privlege of visiting their machines shop. I picked it up when I was there, so they could measure the post receiver on my Triton TR196. They said that they were having trouble with different size bushings on Tritons. These guys are always trying to perfect their product. How many companies keep doing research after they have their product on the market? ( Not as many as we would like ). I was very impressed with what I saw. They showed me some prototypes and each one just keep getting better. I have not taken it fishing yet, but have tried it out there and at home. It works like a charm, it sure will make
fishing trips alot more fun with less hassle of moving the seat all the time. And my boat cover still fits perfectly, which was something that I was concerned about, but not anymore!!! Just like Wayne 1 and PT 185 ( on the Bassboatcentral FORUM BOARD) said this is a great invention. And I have to agree with everything that they said, so I won't keep repeating it. It is sturdy, it works and is well worth the price. Especially if you can see where you are going, by being lazy and not removing your seat so you can see where you are going. This way it very easy and it could save your life and maybe someone else's. This is a GREAT product, I will send another comment
after I try it our on Table Rock next month. Good Luck and keep those ideas coming."
