Location: With my son on the water | Look at my post (New 1760 GC Esox) dated 6/14/2014 in the boats and motor section.
The way I have that 1760 laid out it is basically a x-190 but just 22" shorter. I am heading to LOTW any day for a month or so and I know that rig will handle it fine. I am not sure what you would be looking for in a X-176 layout that this boat doesn't have?
I may have purchased a X-190 but the tandem axle turned me off (although you can get a single) and the amount of storage space length require.
My 1760 needs 23 ft(boat = 17'6" + motor 3' + trailer beyond the boat even with a swing tongue 18" to 2'+ a few inches front and back) and my garage is 23'9" There is another post that says an X-190 only needs 23 ft but I just don't see how that would fit??
To me if Tuffy wants to make any changes they should simply canvas the owners of the current boats and ask what needs to be improved. I have only owned my rig a few months and I have several inexpensive ideas already that would really make it fishermen friendly that no other brand offers.
Got a go pack, have a good day. |
