Never run one, but there beautiful,fast and well built. Running 90s with a 525

We went up to Toronto a couple years back and saw the red 28 with soon to be added 525 under construction. Very nice looking boat with great build quality. The Tuff folk are nice people and they build a very nice boat. Not sure how it runs, other than fast... Not a real deep V and has a good sized pad. A 28 footer in the 90's with 525 power is pretty impressive, would love to see one in the rough as well. Not sure if I can answer any of your questions but feel free to pm me if you like.

Tex, Bob the Builder, and AR15Meister on SOS are a couple of Canadian guys who have ridden in the boat. Mark runs on a lake near them. I'll try to find the thread.

What exactly would you like to know?
I have had my hands on the boats, and know the construction method well:lookaroun:
It runs over 95 with a stock 525, is 28.5 feet long and is no flyweight. As far as the comment about it not being a true deep vee..... it does have a pad, but the bow portion is what breaks the water. It is a smooth riding hull and will out run any hull in it's size range........ specially with Mark on the go stick.

Give Mark a call, ask him to meet you in the 1000 Islands, and start driving. Hell after a couple of days of boating and drinking, I'll even take you paddling....
