Any of you guys own or have fished out of the Tuffy Osprey 1760C for Musky's.

It seems like a great Musky boat. I have never fished out of one but have always been on the look out for one.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance--First post long time reader.
Great forum

I have fished out of Slamr's 1760 quite a few times. Fishes MUCH bigger than my 1700. Even handles Lake Michigan pretty well. Does about 50 mph with the Merc 150 Opti. Overall great fishing platform, I'd highly recommend it. Probably be my next boat as well.

I owned and fished out of a 2006 1760 DW(Dual Walk through) for one year and loved it. The boat fishes much bigger than you'd think. I had a 150 Optimax on it and like Mike said, ran low 50's and handled any water I through at it no problem. It's got a very large front deck, huge livewell for bait, storage was great(including a rod locker that accepted 8'6 rods on the top shelf, 8'0 rods on the lower shelves) and just an easy overall boat to run. If it weren't for the Tuffy X-190, I'd still be running a 1760 due to the waters I fish. If I were looking to buy a 1760 again however, I'd go with the 1760 GC. The extra room with the GC model is incredible!
