Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | The configuration of the rod tubes in the 2011 1890 to date is much different than the 2007 model; fewer tubes and a different height and step to the locker and tubes.
Tuffy had the side rod lockers port and starboard for a few years, and they were 'sidewall' with doors that opened to the floor , not side 'tank', which was what was offered in the Renegade models, and THAT they did to open up the cockpit, hence the new boat name at the time, which was 'Osprey'. The walleye guys didn't like them, and 9' rods were not popular in the Muskie world yet. The much longer deck locker Tuffy came up with requires a bigger front deck, which Tuffy opted to do. It's been popular as an Esox Deep V.
Tuffy gets quite a few requests each year to build the Renegade style again, but not enough to bring it back. |
