Don:

I own a TomCat 24, which has a helm about the same distance from the cockpit. I fish constantly and am by my lonesome about 50% of the time. I am also old and "well padded" but have no trouble trolling or docking - or at least no more trouble than when I have a crew. I have fished open boats and even owned for a short time an Olympic with an auxilary helm. I like being inside and out of the cold or the direct sun. I think you may find that fishing from the comfort and visibilty of the cabin is preferable to being outside. YF, TWO-DAWGS.

No doubt about it. When I am alone I like to lounge in the rear sette seat and steer with my arm out the door on my rear help station. Nothing like the lazy days of summer trolling for Salmon...
