A close look at the origins and the future of the custom builder from Ontario, Canada. I spent some time with Mark and Thomas at the owners run in September and got to ride in the amazing 34 and new 25.

They can be great. I rode in the Gray 25 across the bay in a decent chop. They have a good deadrise and a nice bow entry. Tuff isn't trying to build a heavy true offshore design, they make the fastest most efficient V hulls in a range of sizes.

I think their lack of participation in offshore racing and big-water poker runs tells a lot about their rough water capabilities. Very fast little boats in the right conditions though!

They're building a Cat next to compete in super stock. Most of the 28 "rough water" capable hulls could never keep up to a Tuff 28 with the same power. There's always a trade-off
