I don’t know a lot about the boat but the little that I have heard has been good. Hopefully next year means a new boat for me and I already know that I like the Yar-Craft’s but I am really interested in learning more about the Tuffy 1890. Any help I can get is greatly appreciated

Nick, you need to stop over and get your skunk
I own a boat like you are looking at, 07 1890.
I have had it since early last fall, I am extremely happy with it, it rides super smooth and is super dry. It handles great from the bow when jigging.
Anything in particular you want to know?
It is a fast boat, I am running a 200 OPTI.
It is laid out nice when it comes to rigging hardware on it.
wkwPosts: 730April 19, 2007 at 11:59 pm #562767Zach, I have a Tuffy 2060 Osprey w/a 250 Merc Verado that
you should ride in. A 2005 with low hours. I would sell it
next spring. If your interested give me a pm or call. You will like it better than a Yar boat.April 20, 2007 at 2:07 am #562800Zach,I have ran the Renegade for 3 years now with a 150. Super smooth ride and very dry. Exceptional hull design. Not a speed demon but cuts big chop down to size with no problem.
April 20, 2007 at 2:59 am #562821I got a Tuffy 1700 this year and am picking it up middle of next week.. Will let you know what I think of that one at that time.. Heard nothing but good news about it though..
April 20, 2007 at 12:42 pm #56285818′ is all the bigger that I want to go wkw, but THANKS The dealer that I am going to fish through next year is going to bring the Tuffy line into his shop. There are no other Tuffy dealers around here so I can’t go look at one but from what I have read and can see on the ‘net, they look just right. If I may ask, where is an 1890 going to run as far as price, Ballpark? Also, how is the customer service and warranty on the boat? Thanks for all the ifo guys, it is much appreciated
April 23, 2007 at 3:49 pm #563594I saw a nicely loaded one at the expo fishing show. They wanted 34k if my memory serves nicely loaded with a merc kicker on there. I have a friend that drives an ESOX mag and loves it for ski fishing. A tuffy is probably going to be my next rig.
April 23, 2007 at 10:09 pm #563745West End Sports in Red Wing has a 1890 WT on their lot.
What excactly are you looking for? What kind of info?
April 24, 2007 at 12:14 am #563771I would be more than willing to answer any questions Zach. Just let me know what info you need. As far as warranty & customer service goes, I am on my third Tuffy, and so far have not had any issues with the boats I’ve had to deal with. Had the last one for 8 seasons and it still looked great when I sold it. The folks at Tuffy are good people and I am confident if I have an issue, they will help me take care of it. Warranty is five years. I know some people don’t think that is very long, but a warranty is only as good as the word of the company backing it. Long term warranties don’t mean a thing if their not backed up. Last two new vehicles I bought only had three year warranties. Still bought them and are very happy with them. If you have any other questions, feel free to pm me.

April 24, 2007 at 10:03 am #563869I will say this,
after doing alot research talking to different owners, no one had anything bad to say about them.
It is a no frills boat, Bass and Walleye mag had a article on Yar Craft, it mentioned the same thing about Yar Craft, no fake wood trim etc…..
The guys at the factory are always there to talk to if you need them.
The hull finish is smooth and clean.
If you want a fast boat this boat will scratch that itch, I have seen 61 on gps.
Gets on plane immediatly
Comes with a nice Trailmaster trailer
Now if you want to cruise for the ladies you may want to get a more frilly boat like Dean’s from Everrets and Nick’s Ranger’s
Give me a shout if have any questions, 612 366 7076
April 24, 2007 at 2:29 pm #563967THANKS A BUNCH GUYS And I am sure that I will have a bunch more questions when I am ready to do something this fall And maybe Iwill be able to find a nice used one too
