I picked up my new 170 CC from the dealer a couple of weeks ago. I have only had her on the water once so far but it was totally awesome. I am a bass boat convert and am going to love the ability to fish salt and handle rough water better. She is pretty well decked out with a Yamaha 70 2-stroke, bimini top, swim ladder, 2 Eagle color fish finders, back jumpseats and a 54 Pound Wireless Minn Kota salt water trolling motor. Thanks to everyone who has posted on this site. I spent days taking in all the great information before I made my choice. Special thanks to Cargrove who gave me excellent help in answering some questions about set up and performance. Look forward to reading the board every day.
