Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | If you use a tiller handle extension, the rear deck would be just fine in the 1760. I believe that Merten's handle is longer for a couple of the brands of outboards. The rear of that boat has more walkable and fishable area WITHOUT a deck than most do WITH. Also, there is a 1/2 deck (again, this is also a storage box) option that can be mounted either side, allowing one to get close to the transom with the seating and still have an extended 'side tank' storage box either side. The 1890 will have even MORE fishable and walkable area. Think now, if a deck extension makes it tough to reach the handle, the area that is standard has to be pretty substantial. The rear deck in the Esox Deep V models is really quite large, remembering that one can walk all over the splashwell area unlike most other boats.
