Fishon, I just checked out that commander and I see what you mean about the console. Curious how it feels in rough water. Definetly opens up the rear of the boat though! Unless I win the lottery I'll be fishing out of my canadian for a long time to come. What motor do you have on yours? Ours has a 75hp. optimax. It trolls down pretty well and seems extremly smooth so far. Only has about 50hrs. on it being I just picked it up late last august. Sure is easy to clean!!!!
