Hello All !
Here's another - It depends on who I talk to issue ! I am on the fence on whether or not to look into purchasing the Port console for a newer Ranger z521 that I hope to be puchasing very soon. My old 488vs has the second console and I can say that my son has always appreciated it; in the winter atleast ( I do too now that he drives sometimes ). Friends who have pulled their consoles out, say no way, dont spend the $, much better with out ! My thought is that I'd like to afford my son and possibly some other co-angler the luxury, a little extra storage is always nice. I'm not rich, but having the extra console should help with resale if I ever go there. Friends say that there is much more room ( I say not useable room ), and I do agree with them when they say easier to lip a bass in that area.
I'd appreciate anyone who can chime in with personal experience, or any input for that matter !
Thanks,
