tosing around the idea or converting my boat to stick steer. I've personally never been in or around one but seems like it would be a good idea. I like to hear from someone that has ran one. the pros and cons.

Now, in my case, the stick steer was on a Gheenoe, which is a narrow shallow water skiff. My stick steering confined me to the very front ( a very small place) and I felt cramped into 1/4 of my boat all of the time. In a wider, longer and better-suited craft, stick steering may be just fine.
I was amazed at how quickly I adjusted to steering with that little stick. Having electric start and trim would be best.
Of all of the configurations that I've had over many years and boats, I still like the center console, on a wide boat, best.
