Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | The totally new 1890 Tuffy Esox Deep V will be out by the first of the year. Just under 19', 94" wide, same interior as the 2060 EDV except you have neve seen this fit and finish; takes 12- 9' rods, new electronic command center, more storage and much more. It's not a Bass Boat by any means, but will be lower to the water than the 2060. Rates at 100 tiller, 200 console, comes in a walk through, tiller, dual sport, and single console model.
I fished a 18' Skeeter Bass for a year. On some waters it was OK, but I missed my V Hull badly. The biggest issue for me was the deck design in a Bass rig, no freeboard and no where to get on a knee and work with the fish in the net comfortably as a result. The net was another issue, which is solved by putting it over the motor, a 'One' trick. All in all, the tradeoffs had me back in an 1850 Skeeter the next season, and on to an Esox Deep V next.
If I was to buy a Bass Boat, it'd be a Cat. Small builder, but really innovative and they are runners, too. |
