That is kick *** bro. Really nice fab work!
I've always wondered if that foot pedal is uncomfortable being so upright. My speed skiff has a much flatter mounted pedal which works well. It's not actually as flat as it looks in this picture but it has raised sides which is really helpful when you're flying through the air at 70+ mph!

Looks really good. I always figured a foot throttle would be a pain in the leg over time and using a hand control I could stand when needed and not be chained to the seat. I've had quite a few occasions when I'd need to get the motor fired up to push up some fast riffles to rescue stuck gear. When the kid has to drive I feel a lot better about the hand throttle.

Looks good. One question though, what was the thought process on making the console so tall? Seems if you are sitting that it's blocking your forward visibility, at least if you are trying to dodge the bottom. Add in the decision to use a hot foot and I don't think it would be comfortable or safe to stand behind it.
The hot foot didn't work. I ended up using a throttle off a four wheeler. The console is tall because I am. I stand when I drive mostly if I sit I'll sit on a cooler behind me it actually gives a a more birds eye view to see the river bed and obstacles. I wouldn't change a thing about it
