I'm a (very) ex-football player, more wide than tall, my wife has very long legs so wide for me, legroom for her. I read a good thread that discussed buying expensive aftermarket seats being a good idea for making a long ride possible, any brands better than others? Better for larger riders? Just point me in the right direction and I'll do my own comparison shopping from there.

Thanks, Jim
Hey Roadrunner, I feel your pain, I'm 6'8" and a pretty big guy. After trying on different carts for size and legroom, I went with a new Yamaha quiet tech from Carts and Clubs in Ocala. They have many different seat/color options to customize the cart and were able to tilt the steering column up about an inch, and that makes a huge difference. My left knee still hangs out, but I'm careful not to be too close to passing traffic. Good Luck.
