: I am sitting at most 1-1/4' off the lowest point. I used a gel type pad on a
: piece of 1/4" plywood I bent.

Way to high. Try sitting directly on the floor and see what the difference is. You can then build your seat, trying to keep your sit bones as low as possible.

If it sits high in that water... that could be trickier. Not sure if you want to go through the pain and punishment of cutting the deck off and lowering the sides. Then again, you might be the type who does.
