Went and checked out a 1990 29' Fever yesterday.
Boat is in great shape for its age but when I stepped into the drivers seat it seemed really cramped. Sitting, my knees would barely go under the dash and that was with my feet under the seat. There's no way a could get my feet under the dash while sitting. Standing straight up, the top of the seat back was well below my waist and I had to bend over to reach the throttles and steering wheel. If I put my feet way under the dash (on the angled portion), it felt a little better but I was putting a lot of stress on the seat back and that was just sittng on the trailer. I could just imaging how much stress I'd place on the seat positioned like that under acceleration and in the chop.
I really like the boat, but this may be a deal breaker if I can't find a solutuon.
Any ideas?? Owner suggested moving seat back a couple of inches, but that seems like a lot of work and doubt it would help much.
Any other boats along the same line fit for us taller guys?

I'm 6', that's how I drive my boat in the ocean because I can absorb the impact with my legs. Also, I angle my seat bottom to about a 45* angle. When I'm on the lake, I just adjust the seat flat and sit down.

My buddies 35 & my 32 bolsters are the same distance from the dash, so I'm assuming its the same all the way up the ladder. You find ways to manage, I'm 6'5.....

6'9" 305 in a 28zx. I look like a tard driving mine standing up. But Lake Pontchatrain in Louisiana can get pretty bumpy. However I can fit sitting with my legs crossed under the seat on calm days.

Depending on where the fuel tank is and what is under the floor it could be possible to cut a recess. Give Reggie jr a call at RF.
