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

Cant wait to see what you do with it, congrats on the new boat

Like that color ,
How wide it that pad ? is the pad the same on the 28?

Best of luck
awesome boat
have fun with it. !!!!

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.....

Best of luck with your new ride.....

Boy that 28 skater is beautiful? I really miss it..................you have a beautiful boat

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.

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!

Tuff/G2...first for both would be cool

What about the 400 ???
too heavy ?

Yes, in my opinion. The 300XS weighs 505#, the 400 Verado weighs 697#, but a 300X only weighs 465#.... If you can find one!

Congrats Joe !!

Sounds like a great chose in the end.....I played with the thought of grabbing that 21' Myself. :cool: :thumbsup:

Congrats ,that is a nice piece.Keep us updated on your progress.I have to say it did run well with 300 X merc power. hf...

Congrat's Joe, that is one Beautiful 21:cool: 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:thumbsup: Everything he does is top notch.

Black 400 with graphics same color as the boat would be bad ass!!
