Re: refit tiller to wheel
I have a friend with the same boat by the name of Bad Company in Muskegon. I only have one pic from above. Great boats and fun to race. Lots of work though. Click image for larger version Name: 1487467884484.jpg Views: 117 Size: 71.1 KB ID: 141544

Stand by for incoming traffic!!! The tiller fanatics are lurking in the wings, lusting after a chance to tell you how wrong you are.

Re: refit tiller to wheel
I was able to head out to the boat the other day and snapped a few pictures. Not sure how much it'll help but here you go.
