We have a Highfield cl360 with tiller steer Suzuki 20hp
electric start.
Engine weighs about 108lb iirc, pushbutton start, and no space
lost to a console. Just a small
battery box by the transom.
Personally I don't think the console adds much on small to medium ribs. On a wide beamed 14'+ proper yacht
tender yes, but not on the smaller boats. Too much space
lost for too little return. Ymmv of course
