Location: ON | I looked at them hard before getting a tiller. What I found was...
Seating is limited, at least on a tiller you can sit on the rod lockers and usually have 2-3 bases on the floor of the boat + the front deck.
Other wise you are sitting 2 guys side by side on a single bench seat, might not be the worst thing in the world, but more than 2 and now you have a guy infront of the console on a cooler, which I would ditch right away and make that a huge lure storage area.
Storage is limited, no rod lockers (although most have rod storage under gunnels, not covered), many don't have livewells (just baitwells) not that I use those anyways..
A lot of them don't have rear casting decks, just a storage area to stand on, which are rather small.
They can be great boats, but from what I saw only the big CC "bay boats" offered the type of room, storage, casting decks you would be happy with. And you would need to spend a good buck to be happy with them.
Many in the 20-22' range have great deck layouts, but again now you're in for a good chunk of $. If you have that, buy one.
Also a lot of them have a very shallow V or tunnel design. Might be great for small lakes, but definately not for everyone.
Now I would love an Alaksan 20 CC or something similar like that, & I would totally convert a side console to a CC, but
