Building my own center console

[BigLew]

Hey Basketcase,
To quote you, "At 6' 1", I prefer the wheel at a height I don't have to bend down or hunch over to reach. Most center consoles have the wheel mounted too low for my comfort.", keep in mind the standard height of a kitchen counter is 34". Add 12 -16" rise for electronics and your at 4'+, that's below shoulder height.. Run your future T-Top legs in through or outside the console and I think you have a start. Put some shelves in it and an electrical panel mounting area and you're good to go. Keep the compass as far away as possible or go with a fluxgate setup.

Good luck!
