| I ran 4 different Tuffy boats between 1978 and 2005; they were all outstanding. The performance, fit and finish, resale value and factory support were second to none. Since then I have run 3 different Rangers, and again they were great for all the same reasons. I would flip a coin if I had to rate the two boat lines and how they performed for me.
To me, the 1880 is a crossover boat, and not a pure fishing boat. It will fish well, but it is not designed to be a pure fishing boat. The dry storage and rod lockers are small, but they will work. Front deck space is crowded for a 2nd angler, and the back deck is small with no stock extension available. While there is a nice step up to the front deck, it is a mighty big step to the back deck. I am still convinced the 1880 will suit my needs while fishing south western bass and LOTW muskies, but so would several Tuffy boats. | |
