| I have been in a 175t in the show room and I think Ranger makes a great hull. However, there are a couple great drawbacks to this boat IMO. First, there is little/no bow storage (besides a small cooler). If I'm on a fishing trip with a partner - where does he put his gear bag, tackle box/trays? Gets tossed on the cockpit floor, not a great option. Even the old 681 this was modeled after had better bow storage.
Second, if you cast much there is really no rear deck. No butt seat option.
I have owned a Ranger before, and never have had a Tuffy but I would honestly buy a Tuffy tiller before the 175t. The Esox rear deck option is a superior feature unless you just jig for walleyes all day. | |
