If you are 160 soakin' wet...you should be able to fly up there!!! I do it that way also...I just don't tell my wife I am in there...fraid she would shut the lid and lock it!!!! Just be VERY carefull not to unhook your gps wireing on the front. I did just that and had to go back up there on the water to fix it. ALSO...if you are the LEAST BIT closterphobic (sp) I would NOT recommend it either!!
