We built a pretty sweet back deck for my 690 Tiller a couple years ago. Similar set up to yours. My buddy then bought the same rig, and luckily I had kept the cardboard likeness of the deck, saving him some time. Drop an email and I can send some pics for ideas.

Lambeau - looks like a great boat, I'm sure you'll love it. Maybe I'll get to see it on the water in MN this summer, although I'd be all for you letting me catch a fish while you watch vs the other way around like last summer!

I was fortunate to own a bunch of great Tuffy boats, both tillers and consoles, including the 1760, 1890, and a couple X-190s. Those are good boats made by good people, and I'm proud of my work with them.

I was looking for a 20' boat with a hull and interior designed solely as a tiller. Tuffy doesn't have that in their lineup, so I went a different direction. I'm pretty dang happy with what I found in the big Skeeter...can't wait to get it slimed, first shot will be next weekend!

endless...or at least more than i can fill, and i have more gear than should really be allowed in one boat. gotta carry that spare widget "just in case" right?

one drawback is the two rod lockers are only 8' long. my plan is to remove the port side baitwell to add 15" which will solve that limitation. just have to research it carefully before i start cutting any fiberglass and capping any water lines...

You don't need a back "rear deck". You got so much room up front I would think that 3 guys could easily fish on the bow. Two for sure and I wouldn't be surprised if you told me that 4 could cast muskies from that boat... Nice boat!!!
