The fact u payed more for a sc and want to or did go to a tiller… blows my mind the fact u hit a console casting also blows me fucking mind if anything u hit that super tall windshield and I’d cut it down or remove it all together…. But to remove the comfort of a console blows my mind all together
Great video. I was in the same dilemma last year. I finally decided on the 1648 with merc 40 hp tiller with big tiller kit installed. Almost got talked into a console before I bought but am glad I went tiller. So much more versatile. Even found a camo bimini for it so the girlfriend doesn't get burnt like a lobster
Dude, can you explain the f-150 toolbox a little more? Is it resting on the floor of the boat or is it bolted straight to the casting deck? Can you stand on it without being afraid of damaging the box or the boat? It looks like you added a lot of surface area to the casting platforms on the boat. It looks awesome!
I'm looking at the same boat. Wondering how much trouble it would be to move the live well and console forward and install a bench seat with storage underneath? That would be a perfect place for a fuel tank. Thanks for the video. Stay Safe and GOD Bless!🙏🕊🐟🦃🦌🇺🇸
I've got the same boat but with the 40hp and it does great but mine didn't come with a windshield, where did you get yours or where can I get one??? And where on the back did you decide to put you're transducer?????
Hey I have a Grizzly tracker to and you can convert that front storage unit into more storage there is a crap ton of waste space the entire front of the boat is insulated with styrofoam they can remove and make more storage options
Question, what kind of top speed are you getting with the 50 hp Mercury? Also if you don’t mind me asking, what did this boat cost from BP without the trolling motor and fish finders? Thanks.
I have the same boat with less stuff on it and a 40 HP merc and I get about 33 mph solo after upgrading to a SS prop. I got about 30 with the stock prop.
@12:40 Did dude just complain about lack of floor space after installing a non OEM truck tool box ON HIS FLOOR SPACE? 10 bucks says this guy's in IT or engineering lol

Great review, I'm currently torn on tiller v side comsole myself.
same here what did you go with?
What’s the storage length on the trailer? Looking at this model and curious if it would fit in my garage

Yeah definitely need the bimini top. Where did you find it and how was the installation? Thanks
I went with the tiller myself. That console takes up alot of room.
What prop do you run and what speed did you get? I have the same boat and the 40 big tiller on order.
@@stevenbrauch4355 4 blade spitfire from mercury......running light and with only me in the boat i can hit 60kph

I have a 2016 1648 Sc, and have been wanting to do the same idea of covering the gas can. Do you have any info on how to make it?
I don't know if you know this but you can shorten the shaft yourself to custom I've done it a few times
Where did you get your windshield
Where did you order the windshield from

And you can go on Amazon and purchase boat cargo inserts boxes with latches if you decide to put extra storage in front of the boat
Maybe i missed the bilge pump

Did you ever get an answer on this?
My guess 18k
Curious, what speeds do you see on the water with that combo?
I have the same boat with less stuff on it and a 40 HP merc and I get about 33 mph solo after upgrading to a SS prop. I got about 30 with the stock prop.
Think I could fit one of these in a 19ft 6in garage with motor trimmed down and a folding tongue?
I had a 1448 with jack plate and folding tongue in a 18 1/2' garage with about 1' to spare. So I say yes, May have to angle it a bit.
Been thanking about getting this boat how much did it cost out the door with the 50 hp?
They got them for 10000
@@tryingtogetthere1653 where at
10k? Ha good luck
BP starts at 14k with a 20
You de-rate your horsepower rating for the boat to 40Hp when you convert to a tiller.

Let me know when you remove your console. Ill buy it .
Next time, try not to talk so fast. Your audience is trying to follow you lol
Console has no business being on something 16' or less. I converted mine to tiller and love it way more. Do it!
