if bigblue is driving yes you need a dual console he drives fast and furious
In my opinion,,,no. Was this a diversionary question? If so, good job!!
Not diversionary Major. I am currently boatless. I sold my boat this week and am in the market for a glass boat. I've looked at several of both single and duals. The trouble with looking and test driving, its not the same as test fishing out of one.:biggrinQuote:

U fished out of a dual console ranger!!! Imo I wouldnt have a single console nuttn... it does take up some room but has never been in my way while fishing.I think the passenger is at high risk if something should happen. .. my two cents...o and get a ranger 520 or biggerQuote:

O and if you don't like the passenger console u can take it out then when u decide that was a mistake you can put it back
I've always had a single, but I've noticed that the ones who have the duals stick withem. Must be some reason for this!
I've already answered this. And the fact that you have sought other council really ticks me off. Which you knew it would. Which is why you did it. Which really gets my goat. Which really ticks me off.
2nd console is for the partner when he starts coughing up part of the boat payments, then he can have a say. Until then, he (the bes) can just shut up.

We fish a lot in the cooler months Nov-March the dual console are nice in the colder months blocks the wind!!!! Just ride in a single console in the colder months and then in a dual console also nice out on the big water in the wind (spray)!!! and it has been real windy this spring "WOW" never seen it(Wind) blow so much!!!!!:twocents
U shaddup!!!!! O and don't ask me to go fishn with u again till uv added anudder console..Quote:

If you go dual make sure it is atleast a 21footer and has a 300hp on it :D
My last 2 hulls have been dual, Ms Tammy said it's what we need. Don't get a fish and ski yho, mine fishes good but will not perform on the top side like bass boat hull.
Would the second console interfere with a rod transport rack being placed on the passenger side? I really like my rod rack and I wouldnt like the idea of it hanging out past the side rail of the boat like some do. I also would not want to give up the extra room. Its all about personal preferance.....just think it through and then get what you think you like. Good luck and happy boat shopping.
Go with the dual console but make sure the 2nd one is removable. Best of both worlds this way. I also dont understand why folks dont want their rods to ever hang over the edge of the boat. As long as they arent hanging out past the fenders its no big deal. Mine hang over the side so people can walk behind me when im in my chair in the boat. Traveled over 10,000 miles with em like that to and never had one single problem.Quote:

I really like the center consoles on Feelays...and Orvilles.....and ATMs boats
Makes sense G..... I just take my rods and rack off if im going single poling or fishing in timber.
I set mine up multi purpose where I could fish different methods and different species without removeing anything. Its not perfect but its close and works good.
Single console...right in da middle!:biggrin
That's the best reason I've heard so far!!!!!:cheers2Quote:

If I were boat shopping I will look long and hard at a center, ask ATM how nice it is not to have to sit in the floor like most bass boat are set upQuote:

Im just a Yank and im sure my opinion doesnt matter much, but I would get a center console. It gives you more room to walk around.
Getting up off the floor after driving sucks to me. And I ain't even near about as old as some of you decrepit geezers!Quote:
