I need to raise mine, those bait fish like to hide under the seat and I can't get them, hands are too big to fit underneath, or even on the side for that matter.

Looking at the design, wood has a tendance to get soft when wet and you may move sideways and have the wood split where the bolts are. You might consider putting a cross beam between them to avoid the side sheer affect.
