By that I mean it's been ran in shallow rivers and nailed many many floating and submerged objects, nailed docks, beached on rocks to the point there's quite a sizable hole in the keel yet it still floats, we've been swamped by pleasure boats to the point the water was literally up to the decks and floating the fuel tank, the top cap/rail is missing pieces, the corner caps are busted, its never had a transom saver used, and it's always stored outside and he usually leaves the drain plug in perpetually so it stays full of water. Yet despite all the years of abuse it can still outrun anything short of a bassboat and outfishes any other muskie boats I know.

Actually, some are.

Could you share your evidence for this? (That Recons, Rangers, Skeeters, or whatever are breaking their hulls/transoms at a higher rate than Tuffys.) All brands have some issues, it's most often a small percentage that get over-generalized; considering how they get used, it's actually amazing that there aren't more problems. The question for the end-user is: does the "tough as hell" Tuffy experience this less often?


Not that I care that much, because I'm pretty sure why you're going here but...whats the point of your questioning. People give you their thoughts, a guy pretty intimately aware of Tuffy products and their construction gave his thoughts....
