Yes, I can see that. I only wish Tuffy had a 2060 "trolling" model though. Maybe sacrifice 12-16" of bow deck, in exchange for cockpit area. Then it would be a VERY good boat for me. And after riding in Bob's boat, I'd put a 200hp Verado on the back. That engine weighs like 5-8 pounds more than the Opti does, yet would give the benefits of the four-strokes. I'd probably go that route--I would not put a 225hp Verado on the thing. Those are about 125-130 pounds heavier than the 200hp Verado engines. In that case, I would indeed go with the Optimax 225.

So I don't know if it's at all possible that Tuffy could/would make a modification like that to the 2060? My guess is no, as it would probably require a major alteration of the mold for their deck/hull-cap. Probably something that isn't at all realistic. But I really did love the ride in thing, and Bob wears that boat like a glove...lol.
