[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 475513, member: 22613"] Consoles aren't common in smaller boats like that because they take up too much room. It can be done, but it often makes for a clumsy arrangement. Stick steer is preferable, as it takes up very little extra room but still gives you the control of a console. That is what I would do, put two seats on the back bench with controls to either side of the starboard seat if you prefer to sit side by side, weight distribution would probably be better with one seat in the back and another just ahead. It's usually cheaper to convert a tiller to remote than it is the other way around. You can likely sell the tiller assembly and not have to spend much on the cables and stuff. [/QUOTE]
