Attention Tiller Drivers!!!

[Focker]

Well since this is the is the lifelong question that keeps those in my circle awake at night I'll apologize now for this not being short:"It was at that time that I had the Right to remain silent....but I didn't have the ability"-Ron White

What I have:
1890 Warrior F115 yamaha pro-tiller steering

What I like:
Standard stuff: Boat control. Boat control. Boat control. Open layout. Power tiller steering(more on this later)

What would I change:
Oh boy. Not a lot, but.....
There's really 2 schools of thought that I keep hearing over the years on this one. Those who prioritize the layout or "cockpit" design and therefore how it fishes once you've made it to the fishin hole. And those who want the softest driest ride to get to the fishing hole.
I gues that answers what I would change right there, I'm not sure I know anybody absolutely thrilled with both in their rig. For example:
Ranger 618T vs my warrior 1890bt. Here my ranger brothers have a better layout for the purebred fisherman, and the cockpit and how it handles at the fishin hole is better, I concede that. Getting to the spot, warrior wins, not question. Yet, neither crowd willing to give up there persnal favorite. And neither myself or these particular ranger boys have found the 20ft. version of either of these boats to be quite what thrilled us either, at least not for the size and expense.

If it were stolen:
Round up what spec ops folks I know and hunt him down like Bin Laden himself--ok, reality....
Enter the 2095BTX AND the original Tim Merten Eginsteer, yes the original, not the merc version. Talk about 'if it aint broke, dont fix it'.
I still know this boat as the 1895 Storm, and consider it a slighter longer, fatter 18 footer done right. While still not the ranger interior, it is a little bit softer, a little bit drier(in all directions i might add) than my current boat. If your in the hull first, layout second crowd, this is the boat for you.
Power tiller steering. Ah, the good ole days. When we had those few short years when we could pick what motor WE wanted and have have the fingertip magic that enginsteer is/was, it was the slickest trick since the invention of the tiller boat itself. Exhibit A: it was so good merc bought it.

So, I want an 1895storm hull, Ranger cockpit, Merten's original enginsteer, and for me a Suzuki motor. That's all.

great question!
