Can someone explain what the difference is in hull design for sit down vs. stand up seating ?

Is it strictly seat to floor, dash and control placement or are other things involved ?

I am not a boat builder or anything like that but I know that freeboard is a consideration on a stand up boat vs a sit down boat . I prefer a stand up boat wit alot of freeboard. Just my 2 cents

I personally like to sit down. Out of the wind , connected. Always faster.

These are comfy.

I want the option to do both..........

I laminate aluminum in the cockpit floor and through bolt / lag the seat frames in. Freeboard is not an issue as we custom set every seat frame to the customers specs. I have foot inserts in the dash so you can push like crazy. This does two things - 1. Keeps you planted in the seat 2. Takes the load off your spine / back. This directs pressure to your shoulders. This works well for us and hope this helps answer your questions.

It's not freeboard it's cockpit depth. Usually boats with more cockpit depth are stand up boats.

I am a tall guy....what are some V boat makers that have deep cockpits...that you guys have seen.

I converted mine from stand up to sit down. I will never go back to standing again.

I did have use a large spacer on the helm to get the steering wheel closer to me and had to re position the throttles.
