[QUOTE="regulate34, post: 488302, member: 31650"] Hi fellow tin bashers I am in the middle of re-building my 14ft deep V. This is a multi species boat with downriggers I also bear hunt with it in the spring. I live in northern Canada and stick steer is very rare up here. Haven’t found anyone that’s actually used one or knows what they are. My boat was set up with a Foward centre/side console and a 40hp merc 2 stroke. Boat whips along. But being up in the bow you get pounded pretty good when the water picks up. I am changing it up so I am in the rear and when my buddies in the front they can turn around and fish and we can chat while im looking Foward and driving. We do mostly trolling so looking out the back of the boat is a must. My question is why don’t you see stick steer mounted further back? Everything I see online is Foward mount and your fishing buddy is behind you. Any reason you can’t mount a stick control in the rear of the boat? My thoughts are, it would be open and easy for me to step up to the downriggers to work them. Also a open floor for casting or fly fishing. What do you guys think [/QUOTE]
