Location: With my son on the water | All good points but it certainly depends what you do. Granted tillers have more open space but keep in mind you are driving the boat from the back end so your passneger is sitting in-front. If you want to run the TM in the front that person has to move.
In my case that other person was my wife who liked to joy ride but I had to make her move every time we got to a spot. What a PITA. I also have a fair number of new bees fish with me that can not run the TM the way it should be. With todays high tech routes, waypoints, etc on a TM it takes some knowledge.
I also fish some bigger waters and sitting in the middle of a boat behind a wind shield versus in the very back without a wind shield tends to be a drier ride for me.
I fish muskie 90% of the time and bass the rest so I like to be on the TM so I made the switch from a tiller to console 20+ years ago and love it.
But if I fished Walleyes I would probably run a tiller.
As always, have a good day.  |
