Also Sprach Snafu :
I'm not sure if 3000 lbs is typical for a 17 footer. I'll have to let
others answer that.

Seems slightly on he heavy side... must be a well built boat. Always
liked the Arimas.

FYI, my pop has a 20 foot Boston Whaler Outrage. It's a center console,
so no cuddy cabin. With a 175HP 2 stroke Evinrude, and 46 gallons of gas,
on a galvanized EZ-Loader, it weighs 3450 lbs.
