I'm assuming the x-190 will draft less water than other 18-20 foot Tuffy models as the web site states - will "allow access to skinnier wate due to its lower profile hull design."  Therefore, wouldn't it also be true that an x-model 17 1/2 footer would draft less water than a Deep V 1700 or 1760?

I'd be curious as to how much of a draft difference between Deep V and x-models... are we talking a couple inches or a foot?

Perhaps the difference is less than I thought as far as getting into shallower waters.  However, I think I would still prefer an x-model since the sides are lower and closer proximity to the water for lippin/flippin bass or doing figure 8's for muskies.  Again, if there is a learning here, I'm open to it.

Thanks, appreciate the input.[/QUOTE]

This post has been helpful to me and a learning in many respects. As a consumer I think I know what I want but admit I can be enlightened further, so let me ask an additional question Steve about "draft."
