| Ok, New hear. I am in the market for a newer boat (an upgrade from a '90 Champion) and have become very interested in 2006-2008 Tuffy 1700s Osprey or Esox versions. Im a muskie fisherman and am looking for a boat that can fish three. I have found a couple in the $17,000 - $21,000 range but have a couple questions.
Is there any difference between the Osprey and the Esox other than the rear casting deck? Ive already learned that I can place a deck in an Osprey for around 800$
Can three fish comfortably out of a 1700?
How fast would a 115 or 135 push push it?
My old bass boat can go into a couple feet of water can a 1700 do that?
Last question, my old champion handled waves and wind while trolling with complete ease and I have fished out of several aluminum v-hull boats (Lund and Lowe) in similar condidtion and I could not keep the boat where i wanted it because it was lighter and becasue the sides where taller and caught the wind more. My question is, will the same thing happen in a 1700 since it sticks out of the water a little more letting the wind catch it and make it hard to troll or does the added weight of fiberglass help keep it from drifting?
Thanks guys, and sorry about the length! | |
