Location: Hayward, WI | If your garage is shorter and you also fish big water I think you're on the right track with something fiberglass, and the Tuffy 1760 has been working great for me. I live in NW WI so most of my lakes are smaller but I do go to LOTW each year. Last couple years I've had at least one day where we got into pretty major waves out there and the boat really impresses me in rough water. I've just plowed through stuff at 18-20 mph that I wouldn't have even gotten my Alumacraft Navigator 165 on plane in.
If it's really rough, the boat will still bob up and down a bit at rest, but again not NEARLY as bad as a smaller aluminum boat will.
There's not many of the 1760's out there. I wanted nothing but a 1760 GT version, but if you are more flexible regarding capped or not, and want a console you'll find something if you are a little patient.
I'll sell you my 2008 1760 GT for just a little less than a new one costs (hehe).
