I'm 6'0" and when sitting in the helm chair I am definitely looking through all windshield. I am definitely standing when around docks or looking for things in the water. Just on a side note I try not to stand if I dont feel that I have to. I was in some pretty heavy chop one day, got distracted for a minute and came about an inch away from busting my forehead wide open on the top of the windshield.

When fishing in the back I would say the gunwhale comes to just under my crotch. Never really felt like I was going to fall out or anything like that.

I'm 6'0 as well and fully seated I'm looking through the top part of the windshield. Sidding on a throw cushion I'm looking just over.

Standing is ok but the wheel is low. If you had tilt steering it might help a little with the standing while driving.

One of my favorite features of the V is the high gunnels, I've had mine padded & it hits just above the knee (I'm 6'1"). When snapper fishing in 4' seas it's nice to have that between you & the briney deep.
I replaced the seat with a Todd adjustable, so I can sit, or stand, or turn the seat around & slide it back.

Here is a pottie that has pump out fitting.

However emptying the base is easier and cheaper.
