I'm pulling my below question to Steve Sanford in the Guenther Garvey thread out for others to chime in. I searched the archives and to my surprise never found it discussed. Surely there are reasons and thoughts on the subject.
You mentioned in the traditional rear-deck rack configuration the tiller interfered with your decoys. In the pictures I see from places like Tuckerton and elsewhere the traditional build Barnegat Bay Sneakboxes have rear deck decoy racks. But I also see a lot with front racks. Did the front rack come about because of this issue? Is it possible to use a traditional rear rack with an outboard or are the sailing/row models the only ones that truly use the rear rack like it was originally intended, i.e. tails down bills up decoy storage?
