Almost all the secondhand 650s on the Redbay webpage seem to have the console/jockey fitted. Is it just me (I'm 5ft 10) or are all you guys 6ft + or wearing platforms or something?

Consoles/ seating are all very personal, not least because we're all different sizes, & an inch here & there makes a big difference
I have the Ribcraft Pacific console, this is a big old beast & you have to stand to get a clear view over the top. To counter that, it offers great protection when it gets snotty & the shelter from the wind on long passages is a godsend. As in all things boaty, it's a compromise.
Ps, if you're looking for a well founded boat in the 6-7m class......
