I wouldn't go up too much though - maybe like a 1/2". I had an 8" gullet 13.5" seat Crown C and I think my seat was just a tiny bit too small. I got a 10" gullet Racer with a 14" seat when my horse moved up in gullet width and I think it is the perfect seat size.

If your thighs are touching the swells it's probably a little too small of a seat. A 1/2" or 1" longer seat than that might do the trick. I've heard its good to have an inch between your leg and the swells.

I've heard its good to have an inch between your leg and the swells. I would see how a 1/2" felt first, then go from there. You don't want too much room. Double J roping saddles I do go up a 1/2", just for a more comfortable ride and room to move with a rope.
