[QUOTE="openseat, post: 472253, member: 10379"] I've considered it for my boat. Only decided against it because I don't want the console taking up that floor space. Definitely pad the edges of your console where your feet and legs go. Since steering sticks are designed to be more to your side than in front of you, you kinda need one foot under the console to achieve a similar reach. Imagine the result if that console had been in front of you the time you were ejected. A grab bar on the console will allow you to avoid the mistake of trying to use either the steering stick or the throttle to brace with. Instead of putting the grab bar across the top of the console like a lot of wheeled set ups use, I would probably try a smaller one next to the throttle first. Good luck with the project. That hull looks sweet. [/QUOTE]
