I have been searching for the right used boat now for a year now and unless I find something right this spring I may end up biting the bullet and ordering new.

I want a 17 footer that will fit in my garage (and budget) and has the front and rear casting decks for smallmouth, muskie ..but also be able to troll for the occasional walleye.

The new Recon 785 caught my eye. Does anyone have one, or have any first hand knowledge (ride, layout, motor options, etc)? I'm also wondering how it will compare to the proposed Tuffy x-176? Descriptions seem similar.

Any updates/timeline for the x-176? Or opinion how it might compare to Recon 785?
