[QUOTE="Ebug, post: 415931, member: 11893"] I am sure if you look around enough on the internet you will find pictures of just about every sort of small boat out there with a center console. When I was doing research for putting a center console on my 1754, I saved literally hundreds of photos of small boats. The smallest I could find in that batch is a micro skiff. See picture below. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG00462-20120502-1949.jpg"]86138._xfImport[/ATTACH] Here is what my current console looks like from the back. This console is 20" wide. The floor is 60" wide in the area the console is mounted. That is a 13-1/2" steering wheel so you can see that I could have narrowed the console down to about 15". [ATTACH type="full" alt="back view.jpg"]86139._xfImport[/ATTACH] In my case I move around a lot in the boat, so I needed a good bit of room around the console for my girlish 260 lb. frame to fit. That is also the reason I did not install a traditional grab bar that mounts to the exterior of the console. That would have taken up more room. Rob [/QUOTE]
