Re: Sit down vs. stand up seating
I sat down only once and it was in a 36' skater. It was a relatively calm day so I'm not sure how it would be on a rough day.
With a bad back I have always been afraid to sit.
Anyone with a bad back prefer sitting over standing?

Anyone with a bad back prefer sitting over standing? I was asking his opinion cause I have considered several time changing mine also. He laughed and said in my heavy pig it shouldn't be a problem.
Hope this helps

Active Thunder and Outerlimits are two that come to mind.

I did have use a large spacer on the helm to get the steering wheel closer to me and had to re position the throttles.

Re: Sit down vs. stand up seating
Before I sat down I could never imagine that I would like it. Now after owning a sit down boat I cant imagine I would ever want to stand again. Ive spent some time in Hot Boats ride both before and after his conversion....I prefer that sitting as well.
I do have a bad back and it hasnt been a problem.
The only time a miss standing is when docking, the sit down seats do get in the way a bit.
Thats my story and Im sticking to it
