Location: Madtown, WI | I had a esox magnum before I got my 1760 like 5 years ago.
I have a 4 stroke 75... No way would I say its under powered at all. The only time it has had ANY problems was a full tank of gas and 4 guys...then I thought it was a little slow getting up and out....
BUT...I run 35-37 mph with it.....
I got the 1760 for the same reason you are thinking.....I was on Mendota (9000 acre lake I think) in november fighting 3 footers to try and fish a spot....mags are great boats...but not the best for a 9000 acre lake in november....I bought a 1760 the following spring and fell in love....
I fish many types of waters with it from Lake Michigan....eagle lake canada...to 100 acre lakes up north....awesome boat...not to big...but far from small!!!! I have fished 4 out if it in canada before...
can't go wrong with the 1760 for the applications your mentioning...
