I've seen a few examples of early Montauk 17s with raised a console and RPS. While I am not particularly tall at 5' 10", I've always felt a little not "upright" while at the helm. I'd love to hear input/experiences from any and all who have made or benefitted from this mod.
Pros?
I've considered the possibility that I could now use the 94qt cooler in front of the console without having to install it backwards. My understanding is that the 94qt lid (w/cushion) fights with the rod holder cushions when opening in the front facing mode. This always seemed like a kludgy solution (Im a bit particular, and installing the cooler backwards just kinda bugs me). Consequently, I've currently got the 72 qt cooler, which will probably be fine, though just a little "cozy" for passengers.
Cons?
And, of course: Many thanks!
Doug
