I couldn't imagine standing in a 22c.
I don't really consider the 24 SB a TRUE stand up either. I ALWAYS sat in mine.

Yup, within 2-3 inches.
Like Dave, I sat in my 24SB mostly. I only stud when it got rough...

Yeah, they are pretty close, I dont like standing either. Originally set my boat up as standup, then converted to sitdown.

I do in my 24, but my flloors are as low as thay can go, and I am not really standing as much as leaning back.

Carrera 24 is the tallest of the 24x7s you listed because of the raised deck, all the ones i have seen are stand up boats.
Not to mention one of the toughest 24x7s ever made.

I always stood and ran.
Had angled footrests, squated down a bit.

If I keep my 24 around I'd like to make it a sitdown also.

Yup, thats how I run, kinda angle into the seat, if it is relatively flat, I will stand until on plane and comfortable with conditions, and surroundings, then sit down and enjoy the ride..

I stud 100% of the time in my 24' Pantera because my knees hit the dash the way the seats were.
The Superboat stand sit seats worked well for either but I'm a short guy, 5'7".
