A dumb V question...

[gw204f]

Since it's been nearly 20 years since I ran and my memory ain't as good as it used to be, I've got a stupid question for you guys.

Can you comfortably drive standing up or is it seated operation only?

I like to drive standing up .. Have seriously thought about putting in a leaning post instead of a seat. I like the extra view that I get that way.
Gotta sit down when in heavy chop though for safety's sake. I think that as long as you're comfortable with it either way is fine. Just my $.02 :head:

Very comfortable standing up as far as I am concerned....if you have a pedestal seat make sure it slides back far enough though because it can bang the bejeezus out of the back of your knees if its too close.

Weather permitting, I'm usually standing...

[tsubaki]

See, I'm the opposite. Usually sitting till it's bad then I'll stand up.

I'd love to have a bolster seat, that way I could sit or stand comfortably. There was a discussion awhile ago about how, when standing, the chair beats up the back of your legs and I have that problem. I also sit while smooth sailing but stand during rough handling.

i only sit when i'm in the 5 mph zone after that its standing all the way. and Awthacker, very nice job on the boat

[bgreene]

in my V21, yup, I stand a lot till I realize I'm standing, and have a nice helm seat and then I sit down !

Have traveled many miles sitting and driving - enjoying the comfort of the V vs my previous center console.

You can set up your helm seat to be higher if desired too.

I only sit through the no wake zone. I like to spin the helm seat around backwards and prop my feet on the cooler and look aft when anchored up though, so no leaning post for me.

I like to stack 3 throw cushions in my seat so I am kinda stand-sitting.

I do the same thing ...that's why I was thinking about putting in a leaning post instead of a seat, or maybe getting a longer pedestal for my seat so I sit higher up.
