This site is awesome and I've been looking at this "boat porn" just about every night .. I pretty much have a blank slate sitting there and have a lot of decisions to make .. Even thought about using Kracker Jacks site as a "how too" and replicating his boat ... That dude is a craftsman !
Don't take this the wrong way, but you would have to be like 5'4" or something for the windshield to be in your face. I'm 5'11" and am very clear of the windshield when standing. With a fold down seat like that, or a flip-up bolster, it will put you far enough back so that you may not even need to slide the seat back on the pedestal.
