Telescoping Tiller - length or suggestions?

Edit: looks like this posted twice when it told me it didn’t post at all...

Hi!

The tiller that came with my boat broke and my spare is having issues telescoping out fully so I’m considering buying a new one. I have a P18 and I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a tiller or about how far out it should be able to extend?

I just received a 68-131 for my Tornado and P 18-2. I typically go very far forward (forward of front beam). A local has one and it seemed very nice. I will find out exactly this weekend.

I think you can get away with the 62-115. This should get you pretty far forward and even be able to control the helm easily. (My 18-2 is 10' wide so I opted for the XL version).
