Location: Tinley Park. Fish Cen IL. Bass & Vilas Cty.Muskie | I did not want to give my opinion because you designed it and I have a lot of respect for Tuffy boats and your website. I have the rousabout 14'10". It is a great boat for being under 15 ft. I understand about the front deck being in a shallow end of the boat. The bottom line is no storage up there under the deck except maybe a vest or two. I don't like the lips at the entrance of the front deck.It restricts you putting alot of stuff under the deck. I will look at cutting a base in half and maybe moving it over to 1 side about 6 inches and back about 6 inches. I still think the boat was made for a transsum trolling motor. There is not enough room on front deck for a foot pedal and seat and fisherman to fish comfortably. I think anyone who wants to buy one should test it out first. I bought mine after a 6 month search without a test fish. I suggest TTURN make his own opinion after a test fish. I also am a Big Guy so that makes it a bit crowded but I like to move(Shuffle my feet- dance) a bit when I am trolling and casting. Good Luck with your search Tturn. Tuffys make great boats especially if the trolling motor is in the back. |
