Thanks for the feedback! Didnt realy hear any significant negatives here. Even with a standup console overall height is not a problem due to the low height of the e mag on the trailer but I think I would stick with a low sit down console. The ability to go around either side of the console and run the side tanks with hooked or following fish seems to be very attractive, simular to to having a tiller layout. The current side console creates a significant "road block" particually when fishing 3 people out of the small boat. Seating would not be impacted other than centering the helm seat. Access to the rod storage compartment would be improved. Short of removing the console and reducing HP capacity by 50% I don't see any real negatives. If I could get away with just putting a tiller handle on the 115 HP, that would be great.


I'm not seeing how a center console makes it easier to fish with 3 guys than a side console. If anything I'd think it would interfere more with the guy fishing in the middle.
