I had a Tuffy Marauder from '82 through '98. I fished the following: Toledo bend, Lake Seminole,Bull Shoals, Table Rock, Center Hill, Lake of Egypt, Lake Patoka, Greers Ferry, Shelbyville, Dale Hollow, Chesapeake Bay, Lake Cumberland, many WI, MN  and MI lakes including Lake Michigan, Lake Ontario, Erie & St Claire, LOTW, St Lawrence & Ottawa Rivers. 
  I ran 35 and 50 hp engines, raised on the transom by .5".
  Sadly the transom and floor rotted out in 95 so I tore everything apart and rebuilt! New trolling motors, Locators flooring , rugs ... completely new! The Tuffy rep from this website helped me price it when I sold in '98. Twice what I purchased it for.  If I was going to purchase a small boat again, it might be an Esox Magnum, especially if I could get a 135 Opti tiller....  I have had 6 boats and am looking far the last one now.
   I'm looking at a 23' Alumaweld Columbia with a 250 Merc tiller or an Edge 24' Sport OS with a 300 Suki....
   Ask questions of your sales rep and good luck! Most important, watch weather before you go out.
