Location: Not far enough north!

Had one for about 5years. Tiller version with a 50 four stroke. Best platform I have ever fished off of. More roomy than my 1760 currently. The biggist problem I had was getting up on top the waves with 3 guys and gear. I took some 3 footers over the bow on LOTW one year and filled her up like a bathtub. She still floated good full and was able to maneuver back to the dock. This was the case of not enough HP to get on plane befor I got to the rough stuff. We were coming out of a small cove. The only complaint about the hull is the slapping of the bow when working into a good chop like 1footers. When the bow comes down between waves it pounds pretty loud. Not near as bad as a flat bottom though. I love my 1760 but still miss the magnum some days
