After reading about the x190 thread I have a few questions. I will be in the market for a fiberglass boat in the 18-18.5' range next year. I currently have a 175 tourney pro that has served me well but I fish bigger water (Green Bay and Winnebago) and would like something with a walk they for big water and the family. I do not want a fish and ski but would like a boat comfortable for 4 - 5 people for tubing occasionally also. I've done a lot of time in a stratos 386xf and yarcraft 209tfx. I've been in rangers (never an angler) and never in a tuffy.

The 1890 esox looks appealing but I was wondering how they do in 3-4 footers. And also if a 150 will do the trick (as many I've seen have one). And what is the approximate cost new.

I have really been looking hard at the yarcraft 186tfx because I love the layout and my buddies 209 takes big water like nothing I've ever seen but have never been in a tuffy and want to cover my bases.
