I just bought a used Tuffy that I am pretty excited about. It is a 1981 so I dont think it is as heavy as the newer models (thinner hull?). Not sure what size motor I will need.

If it's a tiller, it's a 160 XT.

It is a tiller, it has 3 live wells and a huge gas tank. Dont think I want to spen the money on a fifty but hope a 30 or 40 will move it good enough. I am going to see if i can find a 60" live well to put in it. Is this a boat you helped design, or werent you involved in the roustabout?

A 40 should do a good job for you. The 160 hull was designed by Associated Marine Design in Green Bay, and the interior was a result of input from Tony Portincaso, me, Darrel Weihert, and Steve Quandt of the old Glasway company.

Do you think this would be an easy boat to change the storage and live wells?

It would be a good winter project. There's a couple in the archives here, pretty interesting stuff.
