I have oft. wondered the same thing, and the lack of a rear deck is what has kept me from purchasing one, though they(along with the 620T) are sweet rigs, and are my personal favs of what I have seen as far as tiller rigs go thus far. I know guys stand on the little rubber pads in the far back, and some(like Rob Manthei and some others) actually run their bow mount trolling motors from there, though I don't think that would be for my clumsy self as it doesn't leave much room for error.. Some guys add front deck extensions to compensate, and some simply fish from the floor. I am still waiting to see one that has been customized with a rear deck, as I am sure a few are out there. The side tanks are plenty big enough to stand on, but in rough weather, you'd want a bit more room for sure. I am sure you'd be able to rig a board of some sort for a temporary deck as well. The best glass tiller that I have seen, with something to stand on in the back, has been a Tuffy 1760.
