Guys I need your opinion? In veg i know with a tiller, you can go up down ,left right, to get unstuck. How hard is it with a console and steering, to get unstuck? Always had Tiller. I am running a Mud Motor. |

I've had 2 tiller steer mm' sand just made the switch to a wheel. I can tell you that I'm not going back to a tiller unless I have to. The pros outweigh the cons in my eyes. It is a little tougher to get unstuck but I think it's well worth it. Sent from my beeper |

Boat size is a major player in that. I wouldn't have a wheel console in anything smaller than an 1860.... 1854 would be pushing it and it wouldn't have side gutters... |

Having driven a 20' Go-Devil with a tiller, and then the same boat afterwards with a steering wheel, I vote wheel. On a boat smaller than 17', however, I would probably lean more towards a tiller. That's just my opinion though. |

I have a 18x48 and jut converted to Center Console. I will always have a steering wheel for now on. I thought my boat would be to narrow for the console but I gave it a try and I love it. I have cable steering instead of hydraulic for now and its not bad at all with my pro drive. |

Stick steering all day long and twice on Sunday!! All the comfort of a CC but you don't loose maneuverability when u are in the sticky. |

Real men drive a tiller With that being said, if I hunted deep open water all the time... I might consider a console |

I have a console now and has 3 tillers before it and way I look at it is know it's shortcomings to a tiller. On plane they both go the exact same places, getting out nasty shit tiller prevails. So in console try not to stop in terrible shit. |

We have deep open water here, but if you run it WOT with an outboard, you will rip it off the transom. |

We make 22 miles one way trips sometimes to hunt and I guarantee you will see why I got a console. It can't be beat.. |

I make long runs but its not really an issue. I like a tiller. But I will admit that I hate the twist throttle on my PD. The lever I had on my mb and gdsd was much more comfortable. |

We made a 97 mile round trip on the river in Arkie. Was a breeze with a console. Just ran mine in the stumps pretty heavy this evening and it was some kind of nice!!!! Sent from my beeper |

Set your boat up right and drive with no hands. Consistently make 7-8 mile runs and never touch the handle. Just shift my weight in the boat to turn. |

ive been considering swapping to a console for some of the long runs i make sometimes but being as we hunt alot from the boat the console takes up a spot for a hunter. seems as if you loose quite a bit of turning with a console as well, and loose ability to get out of sticky situations. so there is several downfalls to having a console that i can see. |
