First Impression

One of, if not the, safest boat of its size in the marketplace; the only boat of this size we have experienced with better stability is an inflatable. A major improvement over the first tough tender is the inclusion of stainless steel carry and grab rails.

The optional storage box mounted in the rear seat is not flush fitting, and I know some have regretted their inclusion. We recommend one seat box, as opposed to two, and certainly as opposed to none, as the additional storage is very handy.

Suitability

The Tuff Tender is being used by owners of larger vessels as tenders, but is equally popular amongst those looking for a cost effective, safe little boat for fishing creeks, rivers and impoundments.

Manufacturers Comment

"We agree, and also recommend one seat box, as opposed to two in most circumstances" – Polycraft.

Note: A review is a basic look over a boat, which we have not-tested; some manufacturers will opt for reviews only.
