Re: FS17 in Connecticut
Funny you should mention the leaning post. When I loaded the picture I had the same thought about doing it.

Re: FS17 in Connecticut
I like the "Eastern inspiration". That is what I would like mine to end up looking like. Very nice layout and puts a picture with the concept. Even if it belongs to someone else. Not sure about the leaning post but the front is exactly what I was leaning toward.

I've been thinking about it as well, but with only 3' 6" between the console & the motorwell bulkhead I don't know how viable an idea it is.remedy32 wrote:Funny you should mention the leaning post. When I loaded the picture I had the same thought about doing it.

I may post the question in the power boat section, can I use that pic, as that is the type of post I've been thinking about.

Re: FS17 in Connecticut
That's why I changed the motor well bulkhead on my boat. The area behind the center console seemed way too cramped for me. I still need to add an additional bulkhead of some sort but I just didn't want to give up a full 18" back there. I think some sort of leaning post or seat will fit the way my boat is set up but it can't be as big as the Eastern's....we'll see.but with only 3' 6" between the console & the motorwell bulkhead I don't know how viable an idea it is.

Re: FS17 in Connecticut
I'm thinking of more of a post myself, literally a leaning post. No storage or anything like that. This will be my first remote-steer boat that I've owned so I'm not going to lock myself into anything until I see what i need, but I sure do like sitting and trolling. If I wasn't planning on taking this one out of the bay, I'd probably be looking at more of a sitting down driving position.steve292 wrote: I've been thinking about it as well, but with only 3' 6" between the console & the motorwell bulkhead I don't know how viable an idea it is.
