Location: Indiana | I bought a 1860 last year for the family and didn't have any problems with the smaller rear deck. We even had 5 adults and two three year olds fishing out of the boat last year. My wife and brother-in-law were on the back deck, father-in-law in rear seat, sister-in-law, three year olds on the front deck and I was running the trolling motor. My wife and I were the only ones with boat/fishing experience. Oh yeah I forgot the newborn.
I've also had more experienced fisherman on the rear deck while casting for Musky and they never thought the space was too small. I bought the I-pilot for my trolling motor so I imagine I'll be spending more time back there and I'm not worried. If your in rough water the front deck is large enough for two guys to cast as well.
