| That said, the biggest tiller I've run is a 115 on an older 680 Ranger. No problem there without steer assist.
lol, Jason. the tiller rating on that 680 is only 60hp.
as you know better than me, the one you're talking about was a console version that he home-rigged to run as a tiller. it may have run just fine, but his insurance agent might not agree if he ever hits something/someone with his non-USCG-compliant boat...
if you want to go real fast, buy a console with the big motor. if you want the open layout, get a tiller and realize that 30-35mph is still plenty quick.
