Subject: RE: Tuffy 1890T

The easy answer is if you want to go fast in a tiller, buy one over 20 feet. The Rangers and Tuffys and others 20 footers are all rated for at least 150 hp with the Merten's system installed, and they all go fast.

On the boats under 20 feet, every single boat company follows the coast guard tiller hp rating except for one. The one that doesn't also has the inferior of the two available hydraulic assist units installed according to most people I've talked to, and based upon my own experience. So, I think the question we have to ask ourselves in not why the other manufacturers, who also use a superior hydraulic tiller system, follow the rating, but why the other one doesn't?
