[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 471773, member: 12995"] Here's a 16' Xpress that someone else posted up previous with a forward console but it looks like a fiberglass console. It's tough to tell but if there is room next to the steering wheel to mount a binnacle control, that would work great. If you had to mount up top, the windshield would get in the way. Here's a picture of my old Hobie Power Skiff that had the binnacle mounted up top and I would hit my knuckles on the windshield. So the design of the console will make a difference but I think the binnacle mount is preferred. I do snag on my side mount control on my boat from time to time. [/QUOTE]
