[QUOTE="bigredxlt, post: 349215, member: 13419"] Thanks Rat, that definitely looks like it would work. You're not kidding that aint pretty haha. Only problem is that would add an inch or two to the side of the console. Im going to have a hard time make the console any skinnier because I don't want to chop it and the grab bar. I think I'm going to have over 7 inches of flat floor space to maneuver around the console plus however much I gain by moving it on top of the bench so its going to be pretty tight. I think 13-16 inches on either side. So I guess I will figure out a way to repurpose the existing bracket and attach it to the console. Either that or I am going to cut in to the console and try to create a slot than I can mount the throttle controls in to. I'll be sure to keep you all posted when the boat gets back from the welders. By the way, when I dropped the boat off to get welded the guy quoted me $100 for mounting the pods, fixing a jb welded crack along one of the seams, and fabricating a matching leg for the console. Is it just me or does that seem way too cheap? I walked in there expecting to pay $300. Should I expect to pay more when I pick her up? [/QUOTE]
