I just bought a 17ft,forest green 2004 (here in St. Pete, Fl). Coulf not
be more happy. Able to get into 1ft water(catching bait), and out as far
as 15miles on a good day(so far). Handles waves very well, comfortable,
plenty of power with the 90hp sal****er merc. Bought it from Thunder
Marine for $14800.00. Put an icom VHf, Lowrance fishfinder, Garmin GPS
in and am very satisfied.

There will come a day when 15 miles out in a 17 ft boat will be 14
miles too far. Be careful and let us know how you and the boat are
doing in 5 years.
