| SEEN IT! Steve you killing me! BP is up, getting woozy! calm down... I'm OK...
first off, great boat great price... just what I want...
blue and white not great but will do...
She says she wants more pics...
She says add the esox rear deck and storage...
Not crazy about having 2 boats at once and may spell disaster...
may have to get a deposit out...
Super busy right now with work but I will get a hold of you...
Moreyes , labeau or devoe, who wants to bring this to NY? Prime rib in it for ya! lots...

| One other thing you may want to consider is a cover, I think Steve W has a place to get them.
The pictures dont do the color justice. |

Location: Rhinelander | Iceman,
I'll be out of the office some today, but will be here on and off. Leave me a number I can call if you miss me!
A rear deck is no problem. |

| thanks shep... Talked to Steve last night... Going to the bank soon to figure this out... here is my dilema... boat and price is the easiest part. both are good. I will be putting in some leg work on this... another problem... already paying on a broken boat, so to be a 2 boat owner till I sell that one is gonna be a risk... another problem, nov, here in upstate ny, snow is ready to fly... Add the fact that I'm buying this sight unseen... kinda scary...
So with all that in the pot, I'm stirring that around, throw in some beer and I'm looking good for having that Tuffy for next spring... We spent time last night looking at all the pics available, she likes the open set up, says the boat looks small but she thinks the guy in it is also huge! I fished for 9 years in a 18-6 champion, I think the room will be similar...
Also checked out my sonar and Trolling motor choices in Cabelas last night...
I'm going for it, you'll be all in the loop. |

| The GC line is huge inside without all the space being taken up by the gunnels, and the storage under the rear deck is nice.

| Thanks guys, that picture from the tuffy get together is now the background on my computer... been through the video clip... If it says tuffy on the net, I've seen it!
I was hoping maybe somebody had a pic hiding somewheres from the get together...
Get together sounds nice... 2000 mile round trip kinda kills that for me...
I'll have to have a northeast get together at the thousand islands next Oct... big musky time up there then...
Cleaned the beer outa the fridge pretty good last night after the bank... I'm thinkin' a check is going west next week... scary stuff on a boat i've never even seen in person... everybody here has been a great help...
So now my thoughts go to rigging... Maxxum 80# 50" should be good was also thinking that removeable base that MK has ??? universal sonar... gonna put my old X-15 up front... (love that sonar!)
Dash will be a higher end X-113 or 28... tossing around Hummingbird SI though... ??? anybody?
3 delco batteries, maybe Optimas, always had good luck with the delcos and can get them easy... Charger that I'm gonna rig portable... some rod straps and I'll be good to go next April...
Oh yeah, still gotta sell boatzilla... not gonna be fun...
You guys got a bigger problem now... you Won't be able to shake me from this board...  |

Location: Manitowoc, WI | Welcome aboard Iceman! You won't be disappointed with your Tuffy. Maybe next year you can fly out here for the Get Together. I always have an open seat in my boat if you don't mind fishing for eyes. If not, there are others who are willing to offer you a seat. |

Location: Stevens Point, WI | I believe his boatzilla is his big bass boat that has a blown up Etec on the back. He mentioned this boat earlier in the thread that's it's been in the shop for a month now. |

| yup, over 5 weeks now... still working on it, deer season here so I'm working everyday till everybody comes back... doesn't leave much time for scrounging money... I'm at 65% total of what I need... tough part is, i can't go to a dealer and trade it in, gotta buy this baby from fiberdome... makes things difficult... that tuffy is still my background though, I'm not giving up... |

Location: Stevens Point, WI | Moreyes, not sure that's not the exact boat he's looking at. Iceman, last I heard from Sworrall, the 1760 GC with the 150 Opti is still available. Here is the boat your looking at, not marked sold yet so it's still around I believe.
