When you drive your boat, do you prefer standing or sitting? What about the passenger by your side?
I stand 90% of the time I'm driving. My passengers probably stand about 25% of the time - depends on how bad the chop is. For me standing gives me better visibility to the water. Much easier to read the waves.

I would like to stand more, but I don't have drop downs. :D

The only way I can see is standing because my cockpit is so deep.
Can't wait till I grow up and get a cat so I can sit down.

Sitting. One of the reasons I went with my boat is that I didn't want to have to stand.

I stood a lot with my old boat, because it was smaller and had a rough ride, so I used my legs as shock absorbers. The boat I have now has a nice soft ride, so there is no need to stand.

My Taylor is sitting room only. One mash on the throttle and any standers will be leaving, the back way (over the sun-deck/engine cover).

I spin the seat around and kneel leaning against the backrest.

I never stand and neither do my passengers. I really don't understand why people stand unless they have drop out bolsters. :)

Elelctric bolsters and footrests but still wish I could sit down.

Just depends on the conditions... I like to stand when it gets rough.

I'm with you- stand when it's rough or when I'm docking or putting it on the trailer.

I'm a stander, I agree much easier to read the water
