[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 488614, member: 22613"] I don't think there would be much of a difference in stability between a tiller/side console in the same hull. If anything the tiller may be better in that regard, since you pretty much just pull up to your spot and fish, you don't need to move around much in the boat. It's more difficult to fish from the drivers seat of a side console. Tiller boat seats can be offset just like a side console rig so I wouldn't worry too much about a list. I have a side console and it will list too depending on the wind and other factors. I think a tiller is a way nicer fishing rig. The biggest problem with them is fatigue from wrestling the outboard, especially with these newer heavy four strokes. Tillers also have the floor open, and you do most of your walking in the lowest area of the boat. Side consoles make steering a little less fatiguing, but also less responsive and therefore harder to maneuver. You're further ahead so you can see better, but you also take more of a pounding and are closer to the line of fire when it comes to spray. [/QUOTE]
