Eddie: Yep, Jay's ride in the background. Grant made me eat from the engine compartment floor to demonstrate how clean it is ...

Bertel. Just a curiosity question. I know that Rick liked the seats much more "reclined" than many of the other SVL boats, and he felt that the positioning reduced the impact on his back. Did you leave the seats at the same angle or did you change them. As I remember, the drivers seat was pretty far forward as well, with the steering wheel closer to the driver's chest. I know that it is all just personal preference - just curious.

Have fun tomorrow-

I have a special place in my heart for the SVL class. With that being said, don't get used to it...:D :D :D

Phantom: Same style. Full reclined. Wheel in the lap. Car racing style. I also like it better this way.

The set up makes sense. It probably does reduce the "tail-bone shiver".:)

when i drove steve M's SVL, it was like driving a low rider until the boat got on plane. once up on plane, the seating position was great.
