Subject: RE: Just for the sake of discussion...the Ultimate Muskie Boat

take a sec and compare the pic of the tuffy with the deck extension to the pic of my old ranger with the rear deck installed. i'm just eyeballing things here (until i've got my new boat in the garage) but the size of the rear deck areas looks very similar.
on my old ranger i placed the pin-hole for the seat close enough to the edge that i could sit in the seat with my legs over the edge and still comfortably reach the tiller handle...should be able to do that in the new one too, right?
i think the tuffy extension might look slightly bigger...thus a tiller handle extender would be helpful, and as steve mentioned, aftermarket power steering adds 2" to the length of the tiller handle.

there's got to be other people out there running tiller's with big rear casting decks. what have you done? how big is too big? what are the pros and cons of yours for making the "ultimate muskie boat"???
