I believe the Tuffys hold up better in resale I have sold 2 of them over the past 7 years and always sell them for what I want to, and sell them fast. Also in regards to the dry storage on the Tuffy, you must be referring to the Esox Magnum. Yeah in the older models the storage got wet mainly due to water being able to get in from underneath, but we dealt with it, because there simply is not another boat made that will do what that boat does. I know plenty of Rangers that have the same problem The bottom of the compartments, like the Ranger compartments, were the actual hull of the boat with carpeting layed on it, and once the carpeting gets wet you are done. Go to a walleye tournament sometime and look in the parking lot after a rough day on the water and you will see plenty of Rangers with their lids popped open trying to dry out their storage compartment carpeting.

Post 2005 all storage in every Tuffy is enclosed, sealed fiberglass bins and they can't get wet, which is really nice.

There are lots of good boat out there, get the actual scoop before you try to throw a brand under the bus.[/QUOTE]

In my mind the resale on Rangers is horrible, when you look at purchase price vs sell price. Look at the prices people are paying for those boats and look at what they are selling for a year later it is simply ridiculous. I saw a 619 a couple of weeks ago with a 50,000 price tag on it....no thanks!
