[QUOTE="bobt, post: 197315, member: 4067"] Just a caution on the CC vs Side Console, without knowing the dimensions of your boat. Last year I purchased a skiff with 60" beam with a cc and found it difficult to get around the CC, especially with rod holders on the sides. I ended up moving the CC off-center resolving my concern. I mainly wanted the CC because I drive standing and the height of the steering wheel was more conducive to this versus the standard side console that tends to be short assuming a sitting driver. So the caution is to be sure you have adequate lateral space for a CC to get around it. In my sons remodel of his Lowe 1448 mod V he also wanted to drive standing so we built a side console that was similar in height to a CC. So now he has the best of both worlds. While we built the console open at the base, we could have easily enclosed it for more storage. [/QUOTE]
