Console Size
 

I need opinions on console sizes. I've found one 60d 42w 52h. I'm wondering if thats going to be too big for my 23? Keeping in mind the boat has a closed transom,that will give me more room.
Any opinions would be appreciated.

Chris,.. Seems a bit big to me. The 42 width is wide, add 2 inches both side for spacing, then add another 4"(1 1/2" T-Top legs- 2"od) your up to 50" of used space- what's the inside measurements of the boat, you may only have 18" either side to walk by. 60" deep that's 5 foot of console, you'll be looking at a top that's close to 6'x 8'.. big T-top on a 23. What do the new 23's have on them size wise for the console?

I think that would kick a$$. But it would also protrude over one of your front centerline hatches.

Any pics of the console?

Don, the console is designed to have the top mounted on the sides. Hard to explain, I sent pic's to JohnR maybe if he has time he can post one. I need to measure for the front hatch thing.

It came out of a 27' ?......I forgot. Any thoughts on size?

Re: Console Size
 

Its big! Dunno what to say. get the dimensions, cut it out of cardboard, and throw it down on the floor - see if it's going to work or not...

Yeh 10 4. Gonna try to do that tomorrow. Sweet console though.

Finster, it does not appear to be much bigger than the one presently in my 23. Width and height are about the same, depth isnt that far off either except that the front seat on mine angles back so it doesnt obstruct the hatch. I am at work now but I will measure mine when I get home this evening-looks nice for sure,craig

Hey finster.

IN the boat zone, I have pics of my 23SC which I believe was marketed as a Master Angler in 1983 with a larger console. I like it, in fact, I wish it was a bit larger as there always seems to be plenty to stow away!
