Location: Hayward, WI | That's the floor plan I was talking about. But the one concern about that boat (with the fiberglass caps) is lack of floor space in the 'cockpit' area. I was thinking if you made it in a capless design, a few more inches of floor space could be had. Maybe reduce the width of the side tanks by an inch or two each also. Should then be able to widen the open floor space by maybe 8 or 10 inches.
If you can picture the layout of an Alumacraft Navigator, that is basically what I am talking about, just modified a little. Side tanks somewhere between the width of a Navigator and the old Esox style. Keep the bow rod locker and storage the way it is in the new Tuffy's. Then the side tanks could be used for an additional rod locker, bait wells, storage, etc.
However, it sounds like the new models have more room on the side shelf than what I have thought by looking at pictures. I'm not saying I don't like the layout of the new boats. That looks nice too. was just thinking a little...
