    destroying the resale value of a 1650 fisher

    I had a tiller extension on it for a while, but it made it a pain climbing on the deck anf starting it then moving forward to steer it. Plus with a 24" extension it makes sharp turns impossible. The way it sits now is perfect. Just gotta get some plywood and carpet to cover up all the ugliness.
