Subject: Re: Musky & multi species boats

unless you're really committed to getting an aluminum boat, i suggest you take a look at one of the "G" series Tuffy boats.
the removal of the gunnel cap means that these boats offer significantly improved access to the water - closer to the water from the deck and no wide gunnell to have to lean/reach over.
the exact issue you describe is one of the biggest strengths and selling points of these boats, and the prices are very comparable to the aluminum boats that you listed. it's a Deep-V hull so can handle big water, but still preserves the muskie fisherman's desire for being close to the water.
i ran a 1760 GT this year, and was constantly amazed how easy it was to access fish in the net or when releasing, etc.

you can find more info on this specific trim line option at the following link:

good luck in your search!
