FAQ's
Frequently asked questions
Still have questions? Here are answers to some of the most common questions about the TuffTide 13. If you don't see what you're looking for, feel free to contact us.
Can I stand and fish from the TuffTide 13?
Yes. The TuffTide 13 features a wide 48-inch beam and a foam-filled hull designed to provide excellent stability. Whether you're casting, landing a fish, or moving around the boat, it offers a confident and comfortable fishing platform.
How is the TuffTide 13 different from a fishing kayak?
The TuffTide 13 bridges the gap between a fishing kayak and a traditional boat. You get the simplicity and shallow-water capability of a kayak, but with the comfort, stability, storage, and convenience of a small boat—without having to paddle.
Is the hull really unsinkable?
The TuffTide 13 features a foam-filled hull that provides positive flotation, giving anglers added confidence on the water. The foam also contributes to a solid, quiet ride and increased durability.
What size outboard can I use?
The TuffTide 13 is designed for outboards up to 9.9 horsepower, providing efficient performance while keeping the boat lightweight, easy to tow, and economical to operate.
Can I use a trolling motor?
Absolutely. The TuffTide 13 is designed to work with modern bow-mounted trolling motors and today's popular marine electronics, making it an excellent platform for bass fishing, inshore fishing, and freshwater adventures.
What maintenance does the boat require?
Very little. The rotomolded polyethylene hull won't corrode, chip, or require painting like many traditional boats. Simply rinse it after use, especially after saltwater trips, and perform normal maintenance on your motor and accessories.
Can I tow it with my vehicle?
Most likely, yes. The lightweight design makes the TuffTide 13 easy to tow with many cars, crossovers, SUVs, and trucks when equipped with the appropriate towing capacity. Always verify your vehicle's towing specifications.
Is financing available?
Yes. Financing options are available for qualified buyers, making it easier to get on the water with affordable monthly payments. Contact us for package pricing and visit our finance page for financing options.
How long is the lead time?

Is the TuffTide 13 suitable for saltwater?
Yes. The TuffTide 13 is equally at home on lakes, rivers, back bays, tidal creeks, and protected coastal waters. Its durable polyethylene hull is well suited for both freshwater and saltwater environments.
