longer steering wheel hub for OE wheel?
i'm in the middle of retrofitting my '89 242LS with tilt steering, and i'm wondering if anyone makes an extended steering wheel hub for the OE formula wheels that have the non-industry-standard mounting hole pattern (6 holes for the wheel and a 7th for the center cap).
on a side note, am i the only one who thinks these helms are way too low? i am doing the tilt soley for the added height. i'd love to have bolsters in this boat, but i wonder if they'd be awkward with the wheel so low anyways? granted i'm 6'3", but still. drove my buddy's 25' checkmate over the 4th and his wheel is at least a foot higher than mine

I’m 6 foot and that’s the first thing I thought when I got our boat. The bolsters once dropped make it bareable but I still wish i could tilt it up. Not sure how the bolsters compare to the swivel seats in the seated position but your more then welcome to come check mine out before you pull the trigger on some to see if it would be worth it to you.
