Subject: Tuffy Boats - Ride?

Lightning,
If you are referring to the Esox Magnum series, or any of the Tuffy boats with the sponsoned hull the answer is "yes, they do get a little bouncy when your crossing rough water. My previous boat was a Tuffy Marauder, the fore-runner to the Esox Magnum models that Tuffy makes. For muskie fishing, you could not beat it. Always stayed level, regardless if there was one guy or three fishing off the same side. Nice live well, handled fine, and not real heavy to tow.

I did get caught once in 3-footers on a small lake. My partner and I got back to shore alright, but I wished that I would have had a kidney belt on! Not knocking Tuffy, I just wanted a little smoother ride when I got my new boat.
