I have fished out of a lund 1890 tiller for nearly 18 years because I was a walleye guy. I now focus my attention mainly on muskies but still like to go back to my backtrolling roots for walleyes occasionally. Worn out boat and looking at the Tuffy 1890 tiller. Seems to sit a little lower to the water in the bow than my Lund which could make casting in the bow easier.
Does anyone have experience with the Tuffy 1890 tiller and willing to share their feelings with me on it?

Walleye doc,
I have run a Tuffy 1890 Tiller for 6 seasons. And have a 2012 right now. Best Musky Tiller boat I have fished out of. Tons of room. I can fit 9' rods in my rod locker. It handles very rough water great. Front deck is huge. Boat is 97" wide is very stable with 3 guys all standing on same side. The front deck is closer to the water than the lund, I have fished out of both. Have fished 4 guys out of the boat many times. Livewell is big. Tons of dry storage. I run a Mercury 4 stroke efi 90HP with a stainless 4 blade prop. It will do 39-40mph if Im by myself. No matter what motor or prop you get you will want to add a whale fin to the back, It will get out of the hole much faster, gave me more speed and is easier to steer. When I sell this boat I will be buying another
If you have any more questions feel free to call or PM me I would be happy answer any other questions.
