[QUOTE="duckman11, post: 445580, member: 22999"] welcome to the forum! If this were my project before I did any type of metal work I would start by moving weight around. Like moving the battery and fuel tank to the front. You don't have to make anything remotely permanent in the trial process....just use a ratchet strap to tie things down to the front deck. A C clamp over the gunnel makes a pretty good tie off point for anything you might need to tie down. Also consider if you are going to do these modifications for performance or fit and finish. I'm a "GO" over "SHOW" kinda guy so if I could get the boat to run better by moving crap around and leaving the console where it is, then that is the route I would go personally. but if you need more room......then you need more room and its time to start drilling out pop rivets. But I will warn you steering cables suck! And its never easy to move a console if for no other reason than fighting with those cables....not to mention wiring! [/QUOTE]
