[QUOTE="benjineer, post: 191706, member: 3833"] Thanks. Me too, hopefully in my lifetime. I'm thinking the next step is to remove the little side benches. They are really just in the way. I'm thinking of adding a small, low center console and a tiller extension handle for stand-up driving. I'm borrowing the idea from the boat Flip Pallot uses on Ford's Fishing Frontier (The Outdoor Channel). The only pic I can find is here: https://www.hellsbayboatworks.com/hb_pro_flip.php#. I just don't feel right sitting down when in the big water. I did some experimenting with an adjustable dolly. It would work well with a grab handle at about thigh/waist level to sort of lean on. I could still see over it when seated, and I could see a depth finder mounted there when at either position. The console itself would only be about a foot wide, since I don't need room for steering. I only need room for a couple of gauges and switches and a sounder. I might try to make it the width and depth of some Plano latchboxes, so I can make some slots to slide them into. What do ya'll think? Anyone done or seen anything like that? [/QUOTE]
