Location: Eau Claire, WI | I'm not knocking Tuffy or any other brand in fact I ran three different Tuffy's over the years including a 1700T which was my favorite but I think Shep made a reasonable comment on "value" for the dollar. Price of everything is going up these days but when you consider resale, and what you get for the money...?
Only issue I ever had with all three of my tuffy's was that the storage leaked a few of the comparments unless you adjusted the locks to be super-duper tight. My current Ranger is 6 years old and last month in Canada it sat out for about 30 hours in the rain, some of which was heavy and wind blown and none of the compartments leaked a drop. Then again my buddy has a 2 year old Tuffy and claims his compartments are dry...."go figure"..????
Again...Tuffy is a nice boat and they have some nice models to choose from. The parent company Fiberdome is a stable company so as long as they want to be in the boat business they have the financial stability to do so. I would own another one if the right opportunity presented itself. There are a few little changes that could help them tremendously. |
