Location: WI - Land of small muskies and big jawbones | I fished out of a tiller esox mag for many years. Had it on Cass, LOTW, the Chippewa Flowage and many smaller waters across CA, MN & WI. It will surprisingly handle rougher water and is a drier ride than most people would think. I then ran a Lund Mr. Pike 17 for a few years which is a V hull. Although the Lund was a great boat to fish out of and would ultimately handle rougher water than the esox mag, it pounded the waves something terrible and to my surprise and disapointment it was much more of a wet ride than the esox mag was in most conditions. I'm guessing thats because it was a tin boat and because of the hull design. It had to get VERY rough out before I was glad to be in that Lund over an esox mag. I have since made the change to a high quality V hull glass boat and its been awesome compared to both the lund or the esox mag in very rough conditions.
