[QUOTE]Matt DeVos - 2/28/2014  4:37 PM

But I'm looking for insight as to whether to go with a walk-through, full windshield or with a single console.  On the one hand, the full windshield sounds really nice for comfort/staying dry especially in high seas in the colder months.  My wife would be in favor of the full windshield, (which is a big plus).  On the other hand, it seems like a full windshield on the smaller 17' glass boats that I've mentioned would really reduce the amount of open space.  For instance, maybe a dumb question, but where do you lay a 9'+ rod when running between spots?

Anyways, any input would be appreciated, whether as to any of those boats mentioned, or, as to the windshield vs. single console issue.

Thanks.

Looking for some advice...I'm just now considering entering the market for a new boat. Probably looking for a boat <18' (limited garage space), and probably would like to go glass. Don't want a tiller. Off hand, I'm considering a Larson 1750, Tuffy 1760, Stratos 1760, Recon 785...(any other suggestions, I'm all ears)...
