When they get built here on the Gulf Coast They Fold down for trailering.

That one above has a elaborate console. I couldn't tell from pix's if there was seating?

I’m not sure if we understand you correctly. I am clear that it doesn’t fold for trailering. I am clear there is no canopy above the control station. My question is, does the upper station have a separate and dedicated seat platform directly aft of the upper controls? And wow, that is really nice. Sell those in Southern California, please!

They sell these in California and it does have a seat with bolster. They sell them with the seat but upholstered the frame is all there but I am going to make my own seat upholstery I will post pics once I am done

Flybridges and cabin boats went away to be replaced by pilot houses (further forward lower controls and seating) and tuna/cobia towers. I don't think there is a 23-25 class boat made like it today - hard top with flybridge. Closest one can come is a Parker with tower.

(Boat pic'd is a 73, if memory serves, 24' Correct Craft San Juan. Dad loved that boat for it's speed and ability to cut thru and handle anything Lake Erie could throw. Single screw straight inboard. I learned to dock it, stern in when I was 15, on my own because I had girls to take out.)
