Here are a few photos of the console narrowed by 5". You can also see that I initially shortened it by 2 1/2" but then decided it was too short and added it back on. To further complicate matters I decided to take off the seat/storage bench tonight and use a cooler/cushion setup when needed. This thing has turned into a real "make work" project

! It now measures 32 1/2" at the bottom and 31 1/2" at the bottom of the windshield recess.
