I have a 619. It'll pull just fine. The difference between an 1880 and a 619 is in how the back of the boat is designed. The 619 has that horseshoe effect on the back with compartments. The 1880 is open in the back, no horseshoe. Instead the storage is on the inside of the boat hull, if that makes sense. The 1880 has a little platform in back that contains the livewell and two jump seats, then it is open. Not a great deck for casting, and I don't think they make a factory rear deck, so you would need to build one, or use JustEncase. In my opinion, the 1880 makes it easier for trolling (versus the 619) and offers a little more room for recreating back there. I prefer the 619, but my friends 1880 is a very nice boat, too. Either will get it done, just depends on what you are looking for.
