    Console Room on ZX225?

    Ok Skeeter guys, just how much room is there behind the consoles on a ZX225? I'm a big guy, 6'4" and thicker than I used to be, am I going to be cramped behind the wheel and under the console?

    I sell Skeeters and always take the time with my "larger" customers to have them climb in the boat and get behind the wheel. With the changes made in the consoles, and the elevated floors, you no longer have to "sit and scoot" like you did 10 years ago. You simply walk behind the wheel and sit down.

    I've had some huge guys plop down behind the wheel with no problems.

    The 2007 ZX225 has more room than before and if you really want more room sit in an IClass it is even more accomidating for us taller and larger guys.

    Man i'm 6'6" and i fit good. I have a 05 ZX225. If you mount the hot foot in the right place your leg can just lean against the bottom of the console.

    I wasn't all that impressed myself. I've used an 07 on several occasions and until you get the hot foot down a bit my knees are in the bottom of the console. I"m 6'5'', but I've got long legs. I sat in an I class and it was amazing how much more room I had. The ZX is doable, but the I class is better! Just my 2 cents. Again, I have LONG legs! Haven't rode in an I class yet. I like the price of the ZX boats better, and they perform well too!

    i have a TZX 190 and im 6'5 and 280. i fit in there but its a little snug. not uncomfortable by any means but i could use some more room. the 225 and up boats are no problem though.
