Answer your questions on the Tuffy. I have been running a 1760 Esox Deep V now for....3 years??
The platform in back with the black sticky stuff works great for standing. I have the old version where you have the side caps (which I actually like) and the sides like the old Mag where you can walk all the way around. My front deck is much shorter then the new model and I still fish two people up front...the new ones have TON of room on the front deck to fish two people. I know you don't like the big front decks, but your not compromising floor space in the new models because they added floor space sideways. My first concern with the new model was taking away my walk around, thus less people can fish. But after seeing how they have improved the front deck, and the back deck....I think I like the newer version better.
I have not been in any other ~18 foot boat that has a better running hull then the 1760 deep V.....
If it was up to my wife we would have a new model 1760 right now!!!! BUT, I still love the one I have
Oh, and I had Tuffy install my keelguard at the factory....haven't had any problems with it at all...and I have run it up on many a landings and Canadian rocks.
Feel free to call me if you have any other questions!
