I purchased a left over Sportsman set up for tiller steering and then purchased a side console from Dick Merritt. The console is a sit-down console and can be installed on the side like the original model, or possible in the center like a flats boat. In a side configuration the battery, console and driver will be on the same side. Power is a 75hp Optimax.

Question - Does the side console version present a significant balance (listing to one side) problem?

Although the side console provides a more open layout, it would be worth setting the boat up as a center console if it corrects a balance issue.
