Location: Waukesha & Land O Lakes, WI | Picked up our new Esox and we couldn't be happier!! Everything we wanted and need for the lakes my brother and I fish up north. My brother's dream was to own a Tuffy, wanted one since he was a kid. A huge thank you to Steve, Tuffy Boats and Jolin's Marine in Boulder Junction for making our dream come true. My C-Liner is for sale next Spring...looking at a 1760T for 2007!
We picked her up and broke her in on Saturday July 1, which was also my Goddaughter's birthday......I love kissing babies. Slimed her on Monday the 3rd with a 36-37" No pics, but a thumb that's still bleeding from a snippy fish that turned and bit me before swimming off.
Thanks again from the Heiblers!

| Nice rig, GMG. That motor looks maxed! Why are you holding on so tight? White knuckle flier, too? hehehe
I can't wait to get my 1890. I think it's gonna surprise a few people. Ain't that right, Riddler?

| I just wanted to throw my thanks in too. This is GMG's 270 pound bro. We really appreciate your help in getting us this boat. It will be replacing an early 70s Lunde guide series with a 15 horse Merc, so this is quite an upgrade for me.
In GMG's pics, we have the boat overweight I'm sure, with me, GMG and my brother in law in it for a spin. Looks like the ultimate low rider and I can understand why he's holding on for dear life. Palmer had waves you could surf on that day too!
The motor does look big. Makes the Esox look like a drag boat. Believe it or not, its not maxed. Its rated for a 35 and the motor we have on it is a 30 4 stroke efi. I think the mounting makes it look a lot bigger than it really is. She does get up and go. Perfect boat for the 400-700 acre lakes it will be used on. |
