with a console mounted top - the console would need to be "cored",on all sides - the "flange",where the console mounts to the deck - this would require coring as well,including adding width to it...the amount of work required,is pretty substantial...

Agreed, may be worth it though for me. It would be a nice touch but a lot of work for sure.
