Hey guys,

Looking at an Esox mag with a 60 merc. It has a small tiller handle.

Is the big handle a must? Is it provide better leverage?

Is it worth upgrade charge?

Boat is used.

Thanks in advance.

Fished out of two different boats with that motor this summer... both had small handles. You don't need the big one.

Thanks guys, but I ended up with a Ranger.

Someday I'll get my Tuffy.
