Location: Sun Prairie, Wisconsin | "but they still can't compete with square footage a C or DC boat provides"
Sorry Steve, I should have been more specific… In general, the size of the rear casting deck in a tiller boat is smaller than a boat with a c/dc set up. Overall, a tiller boat does have more room… but the rear casting deck area is generally smaller because of seat placement. Most of the tiller boats that I have been in (618T/620T) have you fish off a narrow side tank surface that is no fun to fish from in a good wind. Tuffy and Lund do a better job in their tiller boats (rear casting deck), but I still prefer the larger rear decks that many C/DC boats have as standard or at least as an option to purchase.
If you run your boat from the front, this is probably a non-issue. I agree with baitfish that the issue is really framed around your personal preference. I will also note that I would NEVER turn down a musky trip because my buddy had a tiller… We would certainly find away to adapt:)
