I don't mind the binnacle mount but I use a helm chair and am back further from the helm and keep my electronics on the dash closest to me. It is amazing how much difference in ride it is being back a foot more from the front of the boat. I am also tall and ducking under the windshield has caused some bumps and bruises that have been negated by moving controls back. If Ken Jr. is standing up most of the time and not running big electronics the dash mount works but for me and Mel the side (bass boat) binnacle is a perfect fit as we sit in the thrown with our feet on the footrest.

From this pic you can see how far back I am and why I dash mount would be difficult. It comes down to what style and configuration of electronics Ken is using. His runs may not be as long as ours on the west coast so he may stand the whole time he is running.
