    I have a 901 and its the same thing. Either that or the fact that im 6'6" may have something to do with it!

    I sat in the new ones and thought the same thing.
    I prefer the way my 2000 882 sits.

    I ran a triton for 14 yrs and switched to a z9. I LOVE the high sitting z9. I can just stand up vs pulling myself up like in my triton.

    On my last boat, I had to sit on my knee or ankle in order to see whats in front of me. So I really the seats on my Z7, they are just right for me.

    I like it too, my old Skeeter I felt like I was sitting on the floor against the wall. When is was time to fish, I had to pull myself up.

    Exactly easier to get up too and easier on the knees.

    Re: Z boats, cockpit seat too high (TMG)

    You sit up so high cuz you are sitting on the gas tank. I don't like it, as it make the windshield useless, and it is easier to get thrown out

    Makes it worse when you are taller than average!

    I do like the legroom in the newer Z boats.
