I am starting to like this top fish more and more. At first I wasn't too crazy about it. I thought the console was too wide, the back seats weren't high or long enough, the back rests were too low, and the front cabin was way too large for this type of boat. I really like where they are going with it, I would still change some things on it though.
Now which model is this? I absolutely love the space in the cockpit and that lounge seat. Very cool.

Nope, I would stick with outboards, probably triple 350 Verados. Then I would make a more comfortable U shaped rear bench that sat just a little lower. People can climb over it if they want get in the water. I would have it sit lower so that my passenger wouldn't feel like they were going to fly out of the boat. I know I did when I sat on that rear bench. I would have a larger top, that attached to the running boards and not the console, this way I have more room in the cockpit. Since I don't fish it wouldn't matter to me. I would also have a more useful rear facing center seat. For now that's it, however I would have to get on a new one and use it a couple of times before I came up with a serious list.

What about the Top Fish would you change? What would you think if they put inboards in it, like Nor-Tech did to theirs?
No inboards on a center console for me. Quad 350 Verados is enough. Full weight I bet that thing still goes around 60. That's a great speed for those 40 mile offshore runs.

In my opinion the GS II is a great design-hopefully some people will get them. I haven't ever heard an opinion on the origional GS from an owner- wonder what people think of them. How many GS's were made?
