I have a 620. I love it. I pull the wife and friends on tubes, skis and kneeboards, it works great. Obviously as a fishing machine it is awesome. One piece of advise, I have found the hard way on heavy glass boats that you want to max out on horsepower or at least be really close. My first boat was a 19 and a half foot Triton Fish and Ski, with a 150 (the boat was rated for 200). It was under powered for pulling skiers but did ok for tubing. My 620 has an Evinrude 225HO (which puts out like 248 hp) the boat is rated for 250, the rig is just about right!

I looked at the 619 before the 620 and only heard good things about it, I bet it would be just as good. I just went with the 620 because the 619 would have been smaller than my previous boat, and I did not want to downsize.

I stood in an 1860 and liked it too, but again it was a little smaller than I wanted. There are a lot of pros and tournament guys running this rig. I only heard good reviews.

I can't speak for Tuffy since I have never been in one, so someone else will have to chime in.
