Looks like mine floor to top of the side gunwale is 33" Appears a sit down is possible, but the angle of the dash would be way off. This might have to be a winter project to figure out whats best.

Still cant get over the odd feeling of standing in a boat thats only waist high. Feel like I'm gonna fall out even will its sitting on the trailer :lolhit:

I used the angled bezels on the port instruments to improve the visibility and viewing angle from the drivers position .... on my 28 Cig the speedo and other instruments were on those old skool aluminum tube elbows to raise the instruments 90 degrees from the dash panel. I can post pics tonight ...

I love the setup I did on mine. Two sit-down race bolsters with a console in the middle. I didn't raise the floor as I put the seats on 7 1/2 inches High bracket. I can see perfect and the boat looks really slick. the console is 15 inchess high, 14 inches wide and 44 inches long. If you have any question let ms know good luck

???,
Raced many 24's that way w/o any problems and I am 5' 11"
Hell I went from Miami to New York in a 24' standing up and felt fine.
If you are 6'5" and stand straight up you definetely have a problem BUT even if you lay back against the bolster its much better.
pepe.
PS, Remember that there were many 27' and 28' Magnums and 28' Cigarettes w/ the low freeboard. Nobody complained.
Back then racing sitting down in a boat used to be a no-no!

OK here is how the old Cig's deal with horizontal instrument mounting surfaces (pods). And here is what I did on my Pantera to angle the Port instruments towards the driver position on the Starboard side before - after. Just a couple ideas .... :eureka:
