I have a 16.5 Duracraft stick steer with a 40 Yamaha tilt trim. It is much wider and more stable than the Tracker Panfish. I bought it for the same reasons some of you stated, stable as no decks to climb up and down. My buddies love fishing from the back.
That being said, I am looking at a different setup and probably going to sell the Duracraft because I cannot get use to the stick steering. If you have any interest in my boat, PM me and if the other deal comes through I'll let yo know the details. It is nicely equipped with carpet and painted hull. Very low hours on it for a 99 model.
