Hello to my fellow tiller enthusiasts!

As many of you know Recon Boats as recently designed a new tiller rig that functions very nicely as a muskie hunting platform. There is not an abundance of information available right now about this new tiller setup so I figured I would share my review video for those of you who might be in the market for a fiberglass tiller.

Thanks and I hope you find this helpful! I am happy to answer any questions if you have any.

Good looking boat. Having the electronics on the starboard side is nice. I have an 18' Pro V tiller and the electronics are mounted on the port side. I can see the 9" screen OK, but with it being down and to the left, your eyes are no where near the direction you are going. I like my boat but if I wasn't so old, I might look at upgrading to this Recon tiller. That rpm adjustment on the Mercury is really nice.

I've been looking for 3 years, since they came out for one of these on the water. No luck yet. You hear so little about these small boat companies since Covid, I wasn't even sure they were still making boats. No dealers anywhere near me up here in Northern Minnesota so I'll need to go searching for them when the time comes.
I wonder what their lead time is for a boat these days?

Thanks for the video.

Electronics on the starboard side is a big no for me. I’m a tiller guy but that puts the electronics opposite side of where I try to have guys fish a lot. To me it is backwards.

I would like to see it with multiple units mounted. As i would want two or possible three with live scope.

Looks like a great boat. Any idea on price of that rig?
