Location: Green Bay, WI | Note: I don't mean to start a "brand 'A' is better than brand 'B'" flame war here. This thread is simply meant to document a journey through the process of researching a boat purchase.
I'm in search of a boat this year, and have been studying ALL major brands. It's a lot of information to process, but today I got to go for a ride in the first of the boats I've been wanting to take a look at.
A big THANKS(!!!) to Bob Mehorczyk who took me for my first ride in a Tuffy boat today: a 2060 Osprey, with a 225hp Opti. What a rocket! I was very impressed with the rig. Even though it is a seven year-old model (2006), it really looked to be holding up well. Bob had been fishing but I have no trouble believing that a half-day's work, and that thing would look like new. I can see why all you Optimax guys love those engines though--wow! What power. Two big guys, one child and almost 50 gallons of gas, and that thing virtually leapt out of the water! Most impressive indeed...
Anyway, just wanted to publicly thank Bob for the ride and say how much I thought of that boat. I've seen 4-5 year-old boats not look as nice as Bob's did, so the rig sure seems to be holding up well.
