Kracker, I say get your console exactly where you want it then glass it down. If properly done, you will have a much more solid connection. Less vibration too. I am glassing the cap to my hull when it goes back together for these reasons.

Sounds like a idea, but were is the gas tank, and other stuff?? If need to get down in that area you will have a B***h of a time if its glassed down! How about weight distribution? Are you sure ts going were its going?? If you need to move it forward or back to get the boat level in the water, its going to be easy to adjust before mounting. But if all is well, and clear then go for it, like stated it will be nice, and stable.

There would be no reason I would have to move it after glassed in. I just want it to be solid and also less holes to drill in the floor. And it would also Carry my t-top a little better.
And also a guy on another website made the comment that the t-top is not good enough for the boat anymore due to all the work I've done to the boat.? I don't quite understand his comment.

Maybe he just means you should have a nice new custom made one to show off, cause the boat will be all new!!
Are you sure on the location as far as weight distribution on the boat? To far forward or back will make a huge difference!! Lots has been changed on that boat (for the better) to change the weight already, so just be sure!

The weight of the console versus the overall boat will not make a difference if it is a foot farther forward or back. I would put it as far back as you can for the smoothest ride while leaving all the room you would want for fishing off the back. When we would tie up at anchor on my boat everybody (usually 6-8 people) always sat on the front gunnel at the bow.
Personally I wouldn't glass it down, just as soon as you do there will ultimately be something no one ever thought of that will require you to take it off for access. Keep the boat as customizable with as little effort as possible.

I have set the console up with that in mind. I've set the boat up numerous times and have had my fishing buddies in it with me just to mock room needed. It's actually been kinda numerous with us in it at times.
