Tuff Boat on Long Island
Since the Tuff 28 project fell apart, I drove to Florida and bought John Mcnights 21 Tuff boat, I want to publicly thank John for all the curtesies he exstended to me, he is one of the kindess gentleman I have ever met, his attention to detail is incrediable, his boat cave is nothing like I have ever seen, he truly made the transaction painless and pleasurable "Thank you John"
The boat really is a piece of jewery...... it is so beautiful he did a incrediable job, so did Tuff obviously, you really have to see it to appricate the beauty of his detail to rigging......and the craftmanship of Tuff

Thank you Im pretty excited, but what do I power it with? I wont put a G2 on it because of steering, so a 300 G1 or a 300XS?
pros cons? Im leaning towards the G2 because of warrenty and engineering, between the two aestheticly the white motor will look incredible on it, but Im not sure Ill be able to get it to go, and when i get the boat back (its getting a full cover made right now) Ill try and answer all those questions.....

Good choice to go with this 21. It would be interesting to see a G2 modded and rigged to handle rough water, the tech in those motors is as impressive as what the Tuff hulls offer.

If it ain't broke, modify it.

You need to put a 300xs on it with a 1.62 sport master. If you want power steering, use a Verado power steering pump. I used one on my Skater and absolutely love it. The G2 does not have low water pick-ups so getting the motor high enough to exploit the Tuff hull won't be possible. JMO Good luck, that is an awesome boat!

Congrat's Joe, that is one Beautiful 21 I had a feeling this was about to happen. All this talk about the excessive weight of the 400??? maybe not a perfect balance but the 21's with twins seem to run well as you know. Anything less than the 400 just ain't gonna do it for you IMHO LOL. You're right about John, he is as good as they come Everything he does is top notch.
Black 400 with graphics same color as the boat would be bad ass!!
