binding seat posts?

Clean them out well (I had a friend that used a gun cleaning rod with a brush for a 12ga shot gun attatched to a varial speed
drill). Then I'd try PAM spray (the same as you use for cooking.). Doc

I have a Ranger boat and like most bass boats it has interchangeable
seating with posts that fit in holes in the floor. Anyway, mine seem to be
binding up to the point where I need a monkey wrench to move them at all and
it takes 2 people to get one out. I called the dealer and he said he never
heard of this (usually the posts get loose and he sells a new sleeve to fill
in the slack). I know I'm going to have to ream the holes a bit, I did it
one with the first post it started with. But now 2 more are doing the same
thing, what might be the cause? I'd like to straighten this out once and
for all, any suggestions?
Also, what kind of lubricant would work well on the plastic lining of
the hole? I'm afraid to use anything that might soften up the plastic.
