Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | None of the above, Mr. Hoffies, and if you can be civil, I'd be happy to answer your questions right here. If you sent an email to Tuffy, you sent it to me. I answered one a few days back about an older Tuffy, what is your email address?
Never mind(check your spam filter, maybe), I found it, here was the record:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rating on that boat is 60 HP, and the boat weighed in at about 900 pounds. The 180 XT was rated for 4 people, I believe, and 1200# motor, people, and gear, from memory. Please call Laurie at Tuffy to have someone check to see if we have a plate there, that was WAY before Fiberdome bought the company. Foam is under the floor in the rear under and in the side tanks, in the bow, and in between the stringers. Any wires there are down the center of the boat, if I remember correctly.
Fell fee to call me at 800.359.4416 with questions.

Subject: coast guard plate
Morning,
I recently purchased a Tuffy 180T boat and motor. I can't find any coast guard rating plate on the boat. The serial number on the back of the boat is "Tuffy 1400191". Can you give me any info.
Specifically I'm looking for max horsepower rating and also weight ratings.
If there are any spec sheets still available that would be great!
I'm also looking to find out if any floatation foam was used back then, if so is it only under the floor. Also fuel tank capacity. I'm looking to remount seat pedestals is there any wiring that runs beneath the floor or does it run down the sides.
Any and all help and information will be great!

Hope the old girl serves you well, that was a great hull. Also, I see I didn't answer the fuel question. If the boat has a built in tank, it's a custom. No idea what the capacity will be, but in all probability, it will be 20 gallons. I was with Skeeter for a couple years back then, and no one on the factory floor in boat finishing was working there in 1991, far as I know. |
