I have been considering buying a boat soon and looking at a couple options. One boat that I like in my prelim searching is the y2K in the classifieds.
I am curious about the seats in the y2K. I run almost 100% in Southern Ca oceans and its not exactly the smoothest ride. Of course my last boat was a 22 foot scarab with bucket seats so the ride was always rough. But one of the things I've always enjoyed on larger boats is the drop out bolsters. The Y2K looks like they only have buckets. Going by my last boat it wasn't comfortable having the bucket seats. It would really take its toll on your back. How is the Y2K?

I have 2 Y2K's (always hated that name) must sell 1, setting is the only way to go, drop out are the past but john has put drop outs in a few boats. You dont see any new race boats with drop outs, I couldnt imagine racing with drop outs, the last boat I ran with bolsters I ended up in the floor

They Y2K seating arrangement is what sold me on the boat..... I had a Fountain, that I liked very much, but never liked to stand while cruising and when sitting I had to stretch my neck to see over the windshield or duck down to look through it.... I can cruise all day in the Y2k and never tire of the ride position.... Visibility while planning off or underway is perfect at all times.... You'll love it!

I've had both. Sit down is the way to go. W/stand ups you'd deffinately be too high. At "silly speed" you'd want your arse firmly planted...Got seatbelts in mine as well.. Your passanger(s) will feel more secure as well.

personal preference, I prefer to stand. I like to absorb the bumps with my legs. When I had my 24 SB, bolster bottom was always down. Like I said, it's all what you like. I also can't dock my boat boat with the stereo on. It's all what you're comfortable with

Sit down is the way to go. Look at fastedy, he has been running his Y2K for years in the BIG STUFF on the race course. Once you get comfortable with the sit down, you will never go back to the stand up bolsters again.

Ha ha ! You can hear your stereo when your motors running !
