| Nice looking 1760 but that looks like the full gunnel cap version. I echo the request for more interior photos - especially the cap-less gunnel version and with the rear casting deck option. It also sounds there are 2-3 different variations of the gas fill, interested to see those as well... Thx, -jaw |

Location: Hayward, WI | I've never found a tiller with the rear deck extension. If anybody has that option installed in their tiller I would be interested to see it as well. I think Worrall mentioned something about putting the driver's seat on a slider to accomodate the rear deck.
Here's a fair picture of a console with and without the rear deck extension.

| I have the tuffy 1760 capless model wonderful boat. Instead of the rear casting deck i went to just en case and had him build a bait box that i use for the rear casting deck. works great |

Location: Tinley Park, IL | Setme- there is a fella with a X-190 that posted a Youtube clip where he replaced part of the floor over the battery and the charger with plexiglass in order to see the charge status. Thought it was a good idea. |

Location: Kildeer, IL | Thank Paul, I saw that and thought it was a good idea. I was going to take it one step further and just cut a window into the rod locker floor. I don't need to see the batteries, I just need to see the charger indicator lights.
That same guy put a shelf under his console which I thought was a brilliant idea. I am going to try and do something similar, although I don't want to drill holes in my console. I might try to fiberglass in a shelf. It shouldn't be too hard.

Location: Tinley Park, IL | If anyone is interested, the price of the Esox G series with a 150 4-stroke Merc without electronics or a TM would be right around 33K or pushing 36K with a TM and some graphs. |

| i have a 1760gt white/silver.great boat!it rides like a 20 footer.very stable and very comfy to fish out of in most any condition.i've had it in water that i shouldn't have been on and i'm still here.as for the front pedestal being to far forward i moved my seat base back onto the rod locker lid in 2009,no issues what-so-ever.used a peice of 1/2" aluminum plate for backing under the lid and bolted it threw,solid as a rock.hardly ever take it out and it hasn't affected the hinge or lock.as for the location of the gas fill i put a velcro loop on the top of the fill and lay my big rods down over it and velcro them in in rough water.the 1760 is a fishing machine! |

| Why does everyone talk about having to wax them all the time? Also I have heard that the sun can ruin them is that true?

My boat lived outside for two years and I am allergic to waxing my boat....even with these two things, a quick wash with even dawn soap and some light buffing and my boat shines. |

I don't own a fiberglass boat so keep that in mind but:
I've done lots of research and haven't heard anything about having to wax them all the time. You can wax an aluminum boat if you want too. Not sure it's necessary either. Sun will take a toll on anything if exposed enough for a long enough period of time. Leave an aluminum boat outside for 10 years, and the paint is going to fade. I'm always surprised at how much fishing reels fade over the years (just think, your skin was exposed for roughly the same length of time! Good reminder to cover up and use sunscreen).
It takes care and some dedication to keep any boat or vehicle looking like new for many years.

Location: Tinley Park, IL | The only wax I put on my boat is through the wash-n-wax type soap that I use. My dad has an Alumacraft that he religously waxes every year. He says the wax makes it easier to clean the river scum off. He lives on the Ohio River and often fishes for cats in muddy water. His boats looks new and it is 14 years old.
Needless to say, if I get a new Tuffy 1760 or X-190 it will be waxed every year. |

I've always been an aluminum boat guy but I have to say that 1760 capless tiller is one beautiful boat. Sorry if this question has been asked previously, but is there a way to have a rear casting deck extension on the 1760T ? |

Location: Hayward, WI | DF,
We Hayward guys must think alike. 1760 capless tiller is the ONLY boat I am considering. Check out this link.

I think near the bottom of the 3rd page, Worrall mentions being able to add the rear deck to the tillers. Mounting the seat to a slider to move it away from the deck while fishing sounds interesting.
P.S. I think the better 1/2 has given me the go ahead to start looking for a used one. Keeping my eyes peeled for a 2006 or newer capless 1760 tiller.
