Do y'all running backwaters ever run them sitting down? I know with old GDLT it's hard to run sitting unless you are a husky fellow.

If you are running sitting down, how far forward is the seat? With a GTR and turning left I like to be able to let the handle go behind me without moving too much and just wondering if that's what you guys with backwaters like or what exactly?

I run mine sitting down sometimes as long as the run is relatively straight and I'm not having to make and really tight turns. If you need some handle length measurements, just let me know.

PM at you frank.

This is for a customers boat and not ever running one figure better to ask

Like Frank said. When your running straight with slight turns, sitting down is no problem. The end of my tiller handle is about 48 inched from the transom. The middle of my seat is 44 inches from the transom so I have to move forward a little for the sharp left turns.

I don't even have a seat. Always standing up.

Also stu is that measured along the floor or from highest point on the transom!

All measurements are from the bottom of the transom.

If you need anything else, let me know bud.

I drive mine sitting down it's much safer while drinking beer

Open floor plan is great for the LT's! I've been driving 25/27's for 25 years now..used a cooler, now a bird bucket seat (cabelas), prefer standing when coursing in the shallow marsh, weather permitting. ak, you are absolutely right, one of the first installations in my duck boat was a drink/shell holder. 'Course, the imbibing of libation is for after the hunt. I've been wanting to install a grab "bar" since the first day!
