Smalljaw: I have the 1700 esox deep V which has a very similar interior to the 1760 only maybe a little smaller in size. I bass fish a lot, and can put 5, 7 foot long rods on the port side of my front deck and about as many 6 1/2 footers on the other side of the front deck and fish all day like that. My boat has the side console. These front decks are incredibly designed for fishing, lots of usable space.
Not sure why you would want to drive a tiller engine while sitting in a chair on the back deck, you wouldn't be able to reach the motor controls very well. The picture shows the ideal set-up with the seat mounted on the floor. There is still lots of room to fish from the rear deck of these boats even without the additional rear deck with gull-wing storage. The pictures posted should convince you the 1760 Tiller is as fine a tiller boat as you will find. I'm jealous of all you 1760 owners! But I still love my 1700.
