We won't know definite speeds since the weight dist. has changed slightly with the new model. The old model varied on top end depending on whether a jackplate was installed. With, high 50's, without, low to mid 50's. The assumption is that it will be very similar.

Will test the speeds and report sometime next week after the motor gets rigged. It will be rigged WITH a Slidemaster Jackplate.

Nice! I’ve been waiting for a walk-thru Tuffy for years. Hopefully by the time the walk-thru is ready The 150 Verado will also be available. Any chance I’ll be able to hang the 175 on it? Is the windshield going to be clear or with some sort of tint to it?

Thanks,
Mike

Steve,

It doesn't look like the side rails are big enough to stand on and cast, are they wider on the bigger models (boats)?
Also, is there a rear deck extension in the making?

The rear deck is already done placed solidly in front of the livewell, extending the platform the splashwell and livewell create. The front deck fishes two comfortably, and the rear deck one. This is a 17.5' boat, and probably will not fish 4 real comforatbly with everyone casting, but you certainly could.

If you want to walk the side tanks all the way around the boat, the Esox Deep V model is specifically designed as a walk around side tank interior. This boat is along the lines of the brand X Multi-specie models claiming to be Muskie boats, but with some very nice added features.

Wife and I took a ride to Worrall's Hideout and got a look at the rig this morning. For a boat of this size I am very impressed with the new layout changes. The front deck is like a dancefloor and there is more than adequate storage in the bow compartments. The rod locker is too sweet... 8 footers in the top row and 7'6"ers in the middle no problem... There were ideas shared and incorporated from various current and former Tuffy owners and the factory did an excellent job with the engineering on this boat. Can't wait to see what the new 2060 will look like ?...Stay tuned Muskiefriends the unveiling is coming soon..:)

I haven't seen the new deck extension yet but on the ride home I came up with a few prototype ideas in my little head "if" there is a need to input any revisions. From what Steve told me the deck extension is approximately as wide as one of the Lakewoods boxes pictured below. If you look at the picture with the boxes stacked 2-deep you should be able to see that there is enough room with the deck extension to still place a Lakewoods box behind each seat and still have enough floor room for the anglers to get out of their seats and be able to stand/step with adequate room to mount the front and/or rear deck. For reference the Lakewoods boxes pictured are the "Musky Medium" box 10.5"w x 14"h x 18.5"L.

No doubt this will become the boat of choice for those who are looking for a very muskie friendly mulit-species combination boat in the 17-18 foot model range. Exceptional for 2 anglers, comfortable for 3, and workable for 4 if needed. 1760 hull offers great performance and is capable of safely handling big water while still being user friendly for those "less than desireable" launches on the smaller 2-300 acre lakes.

A high quality glass boat just became an achievable dream for those who couldn't think they could afford it. Predatory perfomance on the prowl once again..:)

Here are some pictures of my Lakewoods boxes in two different postions behind the seats. My Frabill Big Kahuna fit nicely along side the passenger seat and the inner gunnel. I'm confident Frabill's Big Game model would lay flat on the floor between the seat pedistals.
