Marko - I can help you out, at least with respect to an Outrage 25. I believe the measurement you are looking for is around 51"-52" above the boat floor.

If you look at the 2nd photo in this link, you can see the height of the Forward Shelter is about the same as the top of the console rail, and in this boat when the photo was taken, the console was raised 4". ( I now have the same console raised 6") From that same link, if you go to Cetacea page 11, the fifth photo down also shows the shelter height.

The space under the forward shelter is HUGE,, both in height and length, in comparison to what you get in either the Cuddy or Revenge WT model, with lots of headroom. With the center floor hatch cover removed, I can fully stand up under the shelter, and I am 6'-2".

When I bought this boat new in 1989, I fully investigated the three 25' models, and the Outrage won hands down for maximum flexibility, open fishing space when needed, and cruising/sleeping aboard (for two) comfort and space. I have never looked back. The cost for all three modesl was the same with the full Mills Flying Top system included. To this day, the Outrage model is still the most in demand and commands the highest prices.

There are also many photos of extended cruising with this boat in the ContinuousWave Sail-Logs section. The key to sucess and a great trip is to keep the Mills system well waterproofed.
