Next summer I will be starting to guide for musky and I'm in need of a boat that can safely handle three casters. I'd like to stay away from Ranger, because I just don't have the money and would like a newer boat. I have a couple models in mind, but would love feedback from anyone with experience in any of the boats. I am trying to choose between a single console Skeeter MX1825 (2012), Tuffy 1890 Osprey (2009+), or a Skeeter WX2000T (2009-2010). I'll be fishing big and small water. Here are some of my concerns/questions: Does the MX have an adequate front deck for two casters? Does the WX2000T have an area that I can fish from/run the trolling motor in the back of the boat? I've always fished from console boats, so the tiller is uncharted territory. I'd love to hear from anyone who guides from the back of the boat in a tiller like the WX2000T. Any other information/input on those models would be great too. Thanks in advance!
