[QUOTE="fender66, post: 286953, member: 2990"] I'm going to go the other way. I prefer console steering in my 1756 flat bottom. My reasons: [list]better weight distribution in my boat by moving ME farther forward. I still run all my batteries up front for even more weight up front. more comfortable to me than twisting around with a tiller. when running shallow, I'm up front more and can see obstacles in the water better from a console rather than all the way in the back of the boat. [/list] These are just my preferences though.....I'm not saying I'm right or anyone else is wrong. If I was running a smaller boat.....I might also prefer the space that a console would take up. I did however, have a 1648 console steer and didn't object to the space. [/QUOTE]
