Haven't even started yet...it's a post-Holidays winter project. I'll post updates when I get rolling.
 
I have done the reverse ie turned a console boat into a tiller. The position where the weight(you and the console, fuel, friends, gear) will be is very important in a smaller boat. Mine likes most of the weight near the stern. Yours may be different. I would try and run it with everything still movable to find what works best if you can. I'm thinking strap the console in place with straps to the gunnels until you figure out the balance. Definitely important in a smaller boat.
