| I'm not realistically shopping in the next year or so but am really curious--the x-190 layout seems perfect for me, but I don't really see many boats like it out there...essentially it appears to be a "mullet" boat--bassboat up front, multispecies boat in back!  I've never been able to see one though, never seen a single tuffy anywhere actually...I think the nearest dealer is about an 18 hour drive away, so it's unlikely I'll ever be able to take a ride in one to find out for myself.
Question is on the hull--is it really a deeper V, or is it essentially a bassboat hull? Obviously it's not as deep a V as Tuffy's regular deep V boats or a Ranger fisherman or the like...is it somewhere in between, or is it basically a bassboat hull with a different interior layout? I'm specifically wondering about rougher water performance as well as draft, how it drifts in the wind, etc. It is a light boat for it's size (tuffy says 1300 lb hull, which is very close to my 17' Lund and several hundred lbs lighter than any comparably sized bassboat I could find.) so also curious about what engines people are using on it--that thing must FLY with a 200, and must do just fine with a 150-ish. How skittish is it to drive (chine walk, etc), about like a fast bassboat or more stable? Anything else??
Thanks!! | |
