Location: NW Wisconsin | Alright, I've about hit my max as far as looking for an X-170 or used Esox Mag. It doesn't seem like any dealer actually has an X-170 in stock, and newer used Esox Mags are about impossible to get your hands on from what I've seen over the last year and a half. I figured if I kept an eye out I would find what I was looking for, but every time one has popped up it either wasn't the right boat for me, or sold before I saw it.
With a month to go before open water fishing starts again, are there any boats similar to the X-170 & Esox Mag you could recommend? |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Extreme Marine in the Cities has TWO X170 models in stock not too far from you, email [email protected]. Boulder Marine in N WI has one, call Mike at 7153852177. Marine Diversified can get one fast from the factory (next day) to show you, but they are quite a way South.
To acquire information on Tuffy Boats call 800.359.4416 or email [email protected]. You would end up talking to me, probably.
I have an X170T and live in the Rhinelander area.
There's not much out there in fiberglass that compares as far as style and price.
Used Magnums sell very fast. Boulder Marine and Marine Diversified have new models in stock and occasionally have a good used one.

Location: NW Wisconsin | Thanks guys.
Steve - I got in touch with Mike at BM yesterday, and have dealt a bit with Chad in the past. Mike and I might strike up a deal this week yet if I get enough free time. Can I ask you what motor you're running on your X-170? |
