[QUOTE="majkowskid, post: 213866, member: 5115"] Jamie, ya know, that's my biggest issue right now. i have NO idea whatsoever as to where to hook up the controls. i was thinking that i'd sit in front of the engine, but that pus me up really far in the boat. basically, i'm going to build a box around the engine that will be easily removable. i figured the front side of the box i could lean on and use for the seat back. but man, that puts me sitting WAY far up front! on the other hand, i could build the steering wheel assembly (how i do that i have no idea yet) into the BACK of the same box, and i'll be sitting behind the engine, on top of the prop driveshaft tunnel. but that may be too much weight in the back. i've got a custom gas tank on order that'll be going in the front of the boat, along with my optima blue top battery, and trolling motor, so that may weight down the front quite a bit, so sitting in the rear may be ok. i just didn't want to be sitting way up high in the boat..... i think i'm going to have to wait to plan the control center until after i get the flooring in and such, and i get a better idea of how much room i have to play with. what would you suggest?
