Does Allison make a helm that slides, or is this just the seat?

OK, where does Allison mount the steering wheel with the sliding seat? In the middle or on the side? Or either???
Thanks. 8)

My Ally is center steer. I added the side slide so I could put another bucket up front if needed. I usely just have the two buckets in the center (1 in front & 1 in back). If we have friends along, i'll through in the bench and put both buckets in the front.

Alison uses a compromise helm location, with the sliding seat. The helm is located to the right of center, but not all the way right, like a side steer. It seems the helm is midway between center and right side. I thought it would be problematic, but it works great.

Thanks Froggy. It would just seem funky to me, but I guess I'll have to try it... Going to pick her up next Tuesday. :shock:

My 2003 had it and this new 21 does also.
I ordered the first one that way because I used to fish a lot of pro am tournaments. would prefish a lot by myself and put the seat close to center. then when you have a partner move it back.
liked it so well I had this one done the same.
I think you will like it :!:
It would be easy to make the Hy-steering moveable :!: :idea: :idea:

Side Slide
The steering is moved over 4" to the center, then the seat is on a slide. I had it on the SS2000, it took me maybe 30 minutes to get used to it after that I never even thought about it.

I had designed a Steering Helm Slide system for my XB-2003, when I was setting it up, and wanted the slide seat and the wheel to match locations.
I never installed it, and had a prototype out of aluminum plate and teflon silde /wear plates, it probably woulda worked cherry.
But I found I have zero issues with the side steer if balanced right.
Besides, it would sorta kill my soul to cutout a large enough opening to accomadate the sliding setup..... :cry:
