If you raise the chair up high enough that your feet are off the floor is there any kind of a foot rest so you're not just "dangling."
I actually prefer "dangling", especially when it's hot and humid 
Seriously, to answer your question on the availability of that type of adjustable pneumatic pedestal... there are simply none available that I know of.
I think your best bet would be to modify one of common models to accommodate your exact height. The only thing I can think of is to determine the highest comfortable sitting position for yourself and then extend the bottom of the seated model to that height when completely lowered (about any welding shop). Or, you might be able to cut down one of the standing models? Years ago I remember cutting down one of the short models that I used at the helm... 15 mins with a hacksaw.
To complete the modification... I'd give some thought to making a custom chair back that folds over flat onto the seat, but is designed to sit/lean on then... would probably have to be extra thick.
The only problem I can foresee with this type of set-up is if the chair back gets too thick, it could impede your vision when the boat is under power.
Hope this helps... Good luck!
