| I was wondering if anyone running a 1890 with a 200 OPTI has played with the engine hieght?
Right now it is the 2nd hole from the top.
I raised the engine on my Mr Pike with good results and a good prop.
I am running a REV 4 21 right now turning about 5600 rpm at 59 60 mph full livewell and 3/4 tank of gas |

| I also have found couple other ideas that enhance the drivability of the boat, especially by your self. Shoot me a pm |

| With the rev 4 you can run the motor up pretty high, however, your setup seems to be running pretty darn good, I honestly wouldn't mess with anything. Is there something preformance wise that you think is lacking? |

Location: Stevens Point, WI | Moreyes,
You might shoot Sworrall a PM about this. He might be able to give you more details on doing that or knows of dealers putting the motor in different holes of the mount. I know he has his 1890 with a 200 Opti also. But I would tell you to shoot him a pm first. |

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | I will be playing with this boat a bit more this coming spring. We found the rev 4 set up last year here at Fort Fremont, Spread the word, and that is why it is so popular now. I think the boat has more speed yet, however, it may cut into the fishability, I.E. running big waves and sticking the prop when you need to. when you raise it to far, you will blow out and lose bite. This is by far the fastest 18-19ft walleye boat on the market. |

| Thats funny becuase my buddies and i started running rev 4's on our tuffy's in 2000 and tried to get everyone we could to run them, even though the tempest was what was reccomended by everyone else, and honestly made the boats run like doo doo. But back to the point, I'd stay with what you got moreyes, seems to be running pretty good. |

| BTW, the rev4 will make the boat handle much better in big water than say a tempest will. the rev4 is very tempermental as far as motor height goes however, but when it is set up right you should have no trouble blowing out the porp and loosing bite even if it does happen. |

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | Thanks for that enlightenment guest speaker. The 1890 Tuffy did not hit the scene till 2006 but I am guessing that does not matter to you, you found the rev 4 way long ago so you shall be the God when it comes to Tuffy boats for all future reference on this internet site.
For all other boat owners or buyers who prefer to do business with someone who deals with Tuffy boats daily, has personally been in the boat business for 15 years and has propped more styles of boats over the years than carter has liver pills, Call me. Denny Fox
There is a old saying that goes like this, "We sincerly apologize that in all our years of business and hundreds of hours in service schools, we don't know as much as your buddy who bought his first bought last week".
Watch for future announcements on the "Demo Prop Program" Here at fort Fremont Marine.

| I wasn't talking about the 1890 specifically Dennis, i just thought it was ironic that you are taking all the credit for everyone running a rev4 on their tuffy, when there were many people running them before you even gave two you know whats about tuffy. Either way, i'm not here to start a pissing match with you. The revolution 4 is an amazing prop for many walleye boats and i'd love to spread the word to those very very few you haven't taught yet dennis  |

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | rev4man, with all due respect , I will not start a, as you would say, a pissing match. No one even knows who you are. Nor do I. Everyone can find out who I am and my credentials. My credentials shall stand by themselves. Until you decide to add credability to ANYTHING YOU SAY, by saying who you are and your credentials, I will not discuss anything with you. Have a nice day!! |

Location: Rhinelander | So a Rev 4 is a good prop on an 1890, and a 2060. That's the truth, too, and Denny talked me into one a year back. He was correct. Let's agree to that and quit sniping at each other.

| Hey Steevie.........Once again, thanks for the great snipe hunt.......Sniping this year was at an all time high.........Next year I will apply for "3" snipe permits and invite Stacker and Rev4 |

|
| Don't forget the 1760!! The revolution is THE PROP for the 1760's also. And denny take it easy, and with all due respect to you, my bro was also running revolutions back when he had tuffy's  |
