There's no comparison how much easier sitting in my Comp is on my back and knees vs standing was in my 35 and 38 Fountains. A number of times at lunch stops on poker runs I've listened to participants talking about how rough it was out there and how beat up they feel - and I'm like, Seriously??? I don't know how much of it is just a sit-down-thing vs the better 38 ZRC Comp hull is over my beaks, but I really think sitting down has to be easier on your back and knees in a dedicated sit down with good seats.

Vision on the other hand really takes some getting used to in a dedicated sit-down-boat vs standing in a traditional Vee. When I first got in my Comp I just naturally wanted to stand up to get a better view. It just takes some getting used to. I recently test rode in a couple of 38 ZR's thinking I might want to go back to a traditional Vee and it's just not for me. It now seem goofy and I feel really vulnerable standing up at speed in rough water.

I have suspension seats in my current boat, I dont feel a thing!
Previous cat was regular seats and the ride was great!
Previous V was 42 Fountain PR sit down...loved it too!
Last stand up was a 312 Fastech...many years ago.

Like the others said...once you get use to it, its hard to go back!

Nordic Heat..................stand, unless I am cruising low speed on smooth water. I had a Baja Hammer where i had to sit..............never again.

Same lol....I have to it on a throwable cushion in my heat just so I can see over the windshield...can't imagine doing that at 80 plus hahaha

LOL Truth! Hey btw: Taking my heat to Havasu this weekend to test it. Just moved boost up from 2.9 lbs to 8lbs.............throwing on a 30P bravo cant wait to see where this takes me. best in the past was 83mph with a 28P pitch at 2.9lbs of boost.

Nice!! Yours is stepped right?? What motor is in it? Can't remember...

Blown 540 with low comp custom pistons.....builder says i can boost the crap out of it. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...bfafed68ee.jpg

That's right...if you're stepped that thing should be in the 90's....think it takes 850 or so to get those to 90....fastest non stepped like mine I know of ran 88 with 860-880 HP if I remember right...If you spin that 30 efficiently I'd bet you'll see 90 easy

Watch your A/F's with upping the boost!! ask me how I know hahaha

Let me know your results!!

I just cut my throwable up, trimmed the high density foam and stuffed in in the bottom cushion of my seat, Going to give it a try this weekend but I think I can see over the windshield now,

As for comparisons,,, running hard I feel really secure as a sit down, though when just hanging out in the boat, it does put a damper on the socialization aspect.
