Well it was my understanding that the reason they flattened out the middle hatch area in front of the seat and put the foam blocks down there was for a better standing area.

And, as you can see in the attached image, Hobie did mount an HBar on one at a show or something.

But - I tend to agree with your sentiment on the standing anyways. I stood up in my 09 once and I kind of went

"I think I would be crazy to do this on any kind of regular basis"

With an H-bar, the easier position to stand from with the Vantage Seat and a flatter area to stand though, that might make me more likely to stand.

Completely looking forward to the new seats, the old ones made my wife's back uncomfortable after awhile and it just looks like a massive upgrade. We did try them out when demoing the boats and we loved them, but I am really looking forward to trying them out on the water for real.
