Four Winns 17' Freedom OB: Comments?
Hi There -
My in-laws are looking at picking up a new Four Winns 170 outboard w/ 115HP Johnson... http://www.fourwinns.com/line_prod.c...t&model=170FOB Any comments or links to reviews for this selection? Any other suggestions for a family-focused outboard in the $15-20K range? They need the boat for their island cottage in Ontario Canada. The boat will be used for recreation and crossings to and from the cottage. Thanks! Doug |

Four Winns 17' Freedom OB: Comments?
Douglas,
It's important to have a dealer that is close to you. There are several other options in your price range (assuming those are US$). Here is one to consider that will give you more engine options: http://www.glastron.com/pages/Models/GX180.html Can you get to a boat show before you buy? That's the best place to see several boats in one place. Check the standard options. You will always spend some big bucks to outfit the boat after your buy it so the more you get up front, the better! I would also highly recommend an EFI four stroke motor. Quiet, no smoke from burning oil, better fuel economy, and easier starting. Good luck!
