[QUOTE]Eagleweagle - 2/5/2015  8:22 AM

I run a 1760 GT and I will say its an smooth ride. A Great fishing platform and all around awsome boat, couldnt be more happy with it. I have fished out of Rudy's 1760 for a few years and I fish out of the back. I have no issuses with room using the livewell and electronics box for a casting deck. I do agree it would be nice to have a bigger rear casting deck, but then you will run into a reach problem to run your tiller. At one point you will have to turn the motor.  Longer tiller/deck = more reach, its at a happy meduim as its built now. Andy Hendrickson has a rear deck extension on his tiller guide boat( ill try to post the pic) you can see with the design how you will have to sit on it.
 Not great for leg room.
As for the front seat mount I ordered mine with no seat post and then installed one on the rod locker with an aluminum plate for support, The same as Rudy explained. Now I have lots of foot room. I have no worries of straingth mounting the seat there after running in some of the water we have run in, very soild.
All the boats Ive looked at only one fit for what I wanted, the 1760 GT, as any boat you have to change some stuff while you rig it but thats what makes it YOUR boat.     
  The performance is awsome wind doesnt cacth you, it sits in the water low enough for my style, and handles rough waterr amazing for its size. 
   Im in eastern Iowa and would be happy give any one a ride that is looking at this boat.
