[QUOTE="J Hartman, post: 316010, member: 6347"] I stopped down at backwoodslanding to pick up a pre fabricated console for the boat and a controls mount. I did a mock set up of how i would have the console and control placing and to be honest, didn't like it at all. I guess I'm a tiller guy. I didn't like how it cluttered up the floor of the boat or how much space it all actually took up after getting the seats and such in position. so I am thinking it's going to be a pretty bland build compared to some of the boats I see on here. But It has raised a few questions about running a tiller on this boat. It is rated for a 90 hp as a remote and 50 as a tiller. HOWEVER, the 75/50 weight would be the same as the 90/65. So I'm trying to decide whether or not to go with the 90 or 75 for legal reason. ALSO, i've never ran a big tiller engine. How much torque do you fight on a jet tiller? Would a 90 tiller be that much more hassle to operate than a 75? Do you think I'd have weight issues sitting in the back of the boat ( ex. Rear heavy ) I believe i could move my fuel and batteries further up to compensate for that if necessary. Trying to buy an engine I'll be happy with. Looking forward to hearing suggestions. [/QUOTE]
