Looked at a 29 Fevah, I'm 6' 3" and couldn't even begin to sit down in the driver's seat, love the boat but don't want to amputate my legs at the knees to be able to sit at the helm although I like driving standing, sometimes it's nice to sit and cruise. The seller told me they adjust but I could't see how with the seat molded and upholstered into the gunwale, any taller owners out there with a solution. Reggie can't be that Napoleonic to make his boats only fit vertically challenged , eh, he's got a wider customer base than that. Thanks!

Thanks Roger, that's encouraging because I really love the Fountain, I think once my 13 yr old son gets behind the wheel, he won't care about tubing behind it and the wife who likes Corvettes, well, probably the same, so if it works out I'm gettin it, and I live way out west, so I am going to call Premier Interiors in CA even though I'd rather go to the guys who build the boat in the first place. BTW, I've been to the Fountain factory, it was the first performance boat I wanted and dreamed about, nothing in my opinion comes close. I have a great deal of respect for Mista Fountain, I feel bad making fun of him, I apologize
Reggie if you happen to read this (right) , I was just angry that I couldn't fit into his beloved product so I took it out on him personally.

Powerplay J, I already bought the shrink ray, and when I was trying to find the safety, I didn't realize it was already off, and accidentally fired it--it was pointed right below the belt and now I have THAT to deal with too! Maybe I should get the 47'
