From Cat to Console, a Nor-Tech CC is in my Future

What I did during my last visit was sit on a boat under constructions lounger, have a measurement taken to where the bottom of my foot lays that we identified as being the amount the lounger could be shortened to accommodate the bow bench seating. I believe we shortened it 13" & my heels don't hang over (I'm 5' 10", 32" inseam). I also asked that we maintain a 16-18" walkway between the lounger & bow benches similar to the width of the transom walk thru. This is to be accomplished by cutting the lounger & possibly the bench corners on 45* angles.
I felt like the slope that was built into this lounger structure pictured was too aggressive & as I said sacrificed allot of cabin space. In a discussion w/ SportBoats Marine & Nils, Nor-Tech will use contoured foam on the lounger base to create that lumbar support under the knees as opposed to custom building into the F/G itself. I don't think you need much to give one a stronger sense of being set in the seat in comparison to the standard flat lounger Nor-tech has offered to date.
I've tried to build and expand upon all the great ideas that others have implemented into their builds but I'm sure I'll leave something on the table that another customer will envision as if it were a no brainer, at which point I'll feel like an IDIOT for not realizing myself.
Hope I answered your question & this helps you better understand the path we are taking w/ my particular build.

The actual color is called Brilliant Black Metallic is the color we paint Jimmie Johnson's Kobalt #48 race car with. The dash top gets a matte non-glare clear coat over it & the actual tubular Hard Top structure is powde rcoated satin black (shinier than a matte or flat finish but not glossy)

I might have to modify my "No Shoes Please" decal to read "No Shoes or Jewelry per the Captain"

No problems with the renegade, it's a great boat and I love it. Just want an open bow boat that still retains a cabin for the kids. My good friend is the Canadian dealer and he treated me really well on the NT as well.
