Pros
1.It's extremely easy to handle alone.
2.It's really fast.
3.it's lower to the water making it so nice not to have to lean over all the time for figure eights after every cast.
4.it's a beautiful boat.
5. It's much more roomy then it looks.
6.It tracks really well.
7.It can fish three awesome.
8.It can handle rough water pretty well.
Cons
1.The only com I can think of which wouldn't stop me from buying it is it tends to tilt left a little when you go fast but I'm sure it has to do with weight distribution.
All in all it could be one of the best Musky fishing boats ever made.
I think you'll find that the 1760 and 1890 will also have most of the pros that you listed. All of them will be pretty fast if maxed out with HP in a console. The 1760 will be the tightest to fish 3 people because it's a fair amount shorter than the 1890 or X190, but fishing 3 is certainly possible in the 1760 as well.
My 1760 tiller also lists to the left at cruising speed with another passenger. Even my wife sitting on the left side will cause it to list slightly. I think these hulls do a good job of getting hull out of the water even at relatively lower speeds which probably makes them a little more likely to list. Weight distribution might help, but you might only pack just so much stuff that there isn't a lot to move. I really can't adjust much in my boat to change the way it rides.
I really don't find it to be much of an issue though.
Either way: 1760, 1890, or X-190 would probably all treat you well. The choice between them is going to come down to primary usage and personal preference.
Some day I want a 2100 Tiller with 250. Now THAT is a boat.
