I know you and I have corrisponded already so you know lots about my rig, what it can do, and how I feel about it. I didn't mention how shallow it will go. The boat it self doesn't require much water but when you go to a rig this size you get the 25 inch transom. This is the first rig for me with a 25 and all my other boats had 20s. I don't know the technical reasons why they get larger but I am sure it make sense. When I am in shallow say (pitching for bass) my motor has made contact with a few things that my 20s didn't. Not a big deal at all just a learning curve to trim up a bit more. The one thing I didn't tell you is this rig comes standard with a trim switch up on the bow which is so nice.
For the rest of you, this boat IMO is the perfect boat or I would not have purchased it. I have the Merc 150 4 stroke with a (9.9 kicker mainly as an emergency backup) and it is scary fast.
If anyone is interested why I purchased this boat do a search for a (New Tuffy 1760) and look at my post from last June. Note we changed the location of the gas fill on my boat when it was made so I can lay 9 ft rods on the port side. I also didn't put on any net grabbers (cleats). But we installed small hand rails on each side.
Ha Have a good day everyone and think positive.
Thanks
Brad
