    Shoestring Starcraft SS160 Resto-mod - let the long slow road begin

    I prefer the no feedback helm units. Also not impressed with the xtreme systems number of turns from lock to lock. The cable has very little free play but docking can give your arms a work out. Look for a helm with the newer quick connect where the cable attaches.

    Thank you for the compliment. I started this thread in hopes that someone could get some ideas and inspiration for their own build.

    It doesn't sound comfortable to drive like that. I'm 6'3" and I can get my legs under the last 3 boats consoles I rebuild. The smallest is my kids 14' Take your time to get the ergonomics right and it will make every drive better

    1978 SS 16 restoration

    I would set the seat in and try your idea of steering wheel location before committing to anything. I picked up a 16ft to repair and my legs hardly fit around the console with the stock design. I spend lots of quality time sitting in my 18ft Holiday planning where to mount things and still...
