Yes, the padding is KEY.
Use the mitigator material by PPI.
Someone in the GD forum gave this material RAVE reviews.

thanks for the tip, I was reading up on the material last night, very cool stuff, plus I do most of my boating in lake havasu...not quite as rough as the boat could take so I realy dont have too many worries about geting beat up....but I still wll go the extra for the god padding. It will help when I decide to take it out in big blue....I just love fresh water...dont like salt....too anal

After going both ways I prefer straight, no realy sit down is the king . Ride in them back to back no comparison plus I will out run you in big water cause me and my pasengers are comfotable. Plus they will be cheering go faster the last time we tryed yhat in a old school back seat 2 people were in the emergency room .. nuff said

Love the sit downs in my 24. No problems with my back and it's in the air much more than a 28. At 6'4" it does avoid the "Herman Munster" look as well!

I love my sit down,not as tired when I get home and it saves my jacked up knee from hurting more.

I have come to the conclusion that my next boat will be a 28 Pantera and I would like it to be a sit down. The questions I have sine they were not originally a sit down..

Is it hard to see the gauges?Is it uncomfortable with the throttle in a stand up position and how hard would it be to relocate the throttle?

In my scarab everything is in the perfect spot and I feel a lot safer in it.I'm only 5'6" on a good day.

Tmone has a 24 sit down and he had PPI put the MITIGATOR pad in the two front seat, made a big difference, worth the extra $$$$.
