I have played with the seat bottom at different angles.
It feels very nice. I like several settings and the foot well works nicely.
I'm trying to finish the fit this weekend before I send the boat out of town
and the parts to the powder coater.
I will take some pics for those interested showing different leg and seat positions.
I found that I don't need much foot well action until the seat drops down and the stance is fairly aggresive.
I'm sure the sweet momma seats are #1, but after checking out different angles on the bolster bottoms, I don't think I would opt to convert. I like the way the bolsters attach to the rear bench. Besides this way I can still have the stand up. and the seated position is very comfy

Kirk, I'm not a big dude at all. just over 5'9"
I am a lot more comfortable now that my toes can go past the cockpit bulkhead. This will give me many options as I raise and lower the seat bottom.
Chris, I'm making the bottom from the last 4'-6' dead nuts straight.
Tim, if you want the option of fully extending your legs while
buried in the seat and pressing against a flat/ angled surface then it's a no brainer.

I'm hoping for good weather next weekend (and not having to go into work) to start mocking up my seats and having bases fabbed.
I really like the cutout boxes/footrests - I'll have to see how that would work in mine.
