Boat seat pedestals

Hello fellow chasers of small creatures that lurk below!
Im in the process of changing my boat seat pedestal bases and was looking for some input. Are the small 3/4" posts sufficient enough or is there a huge difference with the 1.77" diameter holes? I currently have the 1.77 but replacing all of them is very costly compared to the 3/4". Any advice would be greatly appreciated..

Ive never had a problem with the 3/4 and im 6'2" 250#. My Champ had the 1.77 and i needed an off set post for the front for leg room so i made a plug with a 3/4 bronze bushing.

Im about the same, 6' 250 some odd. Which type exactly do you have that are 3/4"?? I noticed there are several companies that make pedestals. Are the Bass pro shops pedestals pretty good?
