Tuffy boats redesigned?

[wisconsinfish]

Does anyone have or know someone that has a new tuffy boat? We have run the older models and they were great to fish out of, but had some quality issues. Looks like they have totally redone them. Some now have composite floors and a full fiberglass unit in the top of the line boats. I have heard that the 2060 with a 225 optimax will do mid 60's for mph. Just wondering if anyone knew anything about these????

I don't have a new one, but have read that they are all composite now. I want to go check them out at the boat show, as they have brought my boat back, Rampage Magnum. I love the looks of the Rampage, and also the 2060. Check out some of the threads over on muskiefirst, under the boat & motor section. Steve Worrall is a moderator over there, and also works with Patriot & Tuffy boats.

I have a 2002 Tuffy...the 20'1'' model Esox Deep-v. It is a lot better then the 1999-2000 models but will be a little behind these redesigned 2005's. Either way they are fast, strong, and I will get a new one once mine sells!

I looked at the new Tuffy at the CHI Muskie Show . Was realy impressed with the layout of the Ospyey it' a real nice boat. Give Steve W. and Email and he can send you some info [email protected] (Wish I had the Money)

As soon as my 02 sells I have one on the way from Steve. Can't wait!! Ranger has lost a lot of their bragging rights now that Tuffy has stepped up...the new layout with all those rod tubes in that huge center locker and dry storage is incredible.

I have seen Tuffy's 05 Osprey at the Minneapolis boat show. It was a really nice boat. I was told by the sales guy the esox series has a large rear casting platform (twice as large as the Osprey's); should be pretty sweet for musky fishing. I had the sales rep price an esox 1760 tiller with a 75hp 4 stroke Yamaha and the total cost with tax, title, and license was close to $24,000.
