[C320-list] Rariton PHHBII vs PHIS - will it fit?

[Jon Vez]

You're not confused--I created the confusion. There was a previous response to this thread regarding Peggie Hall saying not to do a conversion and I thought that's what you were referring to. We have a 'house size' now and it is sweet. I think the bigger manual will fit in the 320. The only item that was kind of tight was the handle, but it was fine. If the handle isn't an issue on the bigger model, I'd go for it.
One solution is to do the old try and return from either West or Defender. I took the Defender catalogue into West and said, match the price without any shipping cost addons etc and they did....worth a try....

Maybe I'm confused. I believe both the PHII is and PHHBII are manual. The difference is seat size. Ie, one is about the size of coffee can, and the other is "normal" household size. :) 

So, since they are about the same price and only a couple inches different, I was curious if the larger version would fit.

There is a model that has an "E" in the name that is manual/electric and wasn't considering that one either.

I have the Sea Era on my 355--just spent the long weekend on the boat...and
we love it! As you say, according to Peggy a conversion from manual to
electric isn't the way to go....I did install a manual PHII on my 320 and
that was a very worthwhile upgrade as well..

Well, after some research today, I'm not so sure that a PHE is the way to
go. Manual or electric....Peggy says they don't mix - go one way or the
other. Sooooo Maybe we look at the Sea-Era.
