Bass Boat for Tall Guy?

nofearengineer · 03-23-09, 10:23 PM

Let's just say after waiting years and years as an adult to finally have my very own fishing boat, I have been disappointed to find out that I am too tall to drive every single one I've looked at. I'm only 6'5". Hardly a world record. Though it is killing me to say, I think a bass boat might have to remain just a dream, unless someone can guide me to something I can use. I can't be the only guy over 5'10" who likes to fish. I just don't like having my butt 4 inches off the bottom of the boat with my right leg under the console, the throttle lever in my armpit, and my left knee under my chin.

I have about $5000 to spend, and I don't have a problem with an older boat.
Any thoughts?
