| any one have any experience with this boat and any thoughts on it.....just a little curious about it.....seems to be the right size for me. what does one of these retail for, console boat?
i ran a 1760GT tiller last year.
imho, one of the real strengths of this boat is its versatility. i was fishing everthing from some local 50 acre ponds up to fishing big waters such as Vermilion. casting alone, trolling with 6 lines out, or even 3 guys casting plus dragging 3 suckers, this boat allowed me to fish the way i wanted to fish.
Terry mentioned 15" of water, but it'll float in less than that. one day in October me and Sorno launched the boat in a blow-out hole and floated it across a sandbar where the water didn't reach half-way to the top of Sorno's boots.
on the other end of things, i messed with some good size waves a few times on Leech and Petenwell (anyone remember the PMTT out there last year???) and i was always confident in a safe and dry ride. the deep-v hull splits the waves cleanly and tracks true whether running fast or trolling at 1.2mph. my 70hp tiller would run low 30s, i know most of the guys running 150hp consoles this year are getting right around 50mph.
the fishability is unmatched for a boat that size. the interior layout of the new Tuffy boats maximizes deck space and access to the water - fishermen asked for it and Tuffy listened. you're right on the water at rest, but safe and dry on plane.
there's more storage than you'll know what to do with, lockable rod space for 8 foot rods, a built in cooler, and a 52" livewell.
the best place to find out about pricing is to talk to a dealer about the way you'd want to have it rigged. the full list of Tuffy dealerships can be found at this link:

i've attached some pics of the 1760 i was running last year. i know you're talking about a console and mine was a tiller, but i'll give you some ideas. and hey, pictures are fun! 
it's a great boat and you'll be happy if you get one.
