Location: Stevens Point, WI | I owned a 2007 Tuffy 1760 DW two years ago and I would agree that putting anything less than a 115 would not be a very good idea in my opinion. A 115 on that rig will push it low to mid 40's if everything is setup correctly and it will run just fine. Tuffy's can be bought with with any motor but Mercury and Suzuki are the most prevalent on Tuffy transoms because they've been two of the easier companies to work with in regards to getting motors. For what your wanting the boat to do, I'd suggest either the 140 Suzuki or the 150 Verado. Otherwise, I'd suggest a 135 Optimax and a 9.9. Prokicker.
As for big water, I think the 1760 for the size and layout of the boat is one of the better rigs in that size range for big water. The boat was built like a tank, had a great layout and got plenty of speed with my 150 Optimax I had on it. I'd highly suggest this rig, just not with a 90 4stroke.
Any other questions ask away, I'd be glad to provide personal experience with this rig.
