New 2008 17cc Owner

[fishalot]

Hello everyone!! Had my boat for 2 months now and really love it. Always had fiberglass fishing boats and thought I would give it a try. My wife loves how the boats doesn't bang and rattle so that's real important. Rigged it out with a bunch of cool stuff. It's a fish catching machine.

fishalot,
Congratulation on your new 17CC. I had 2004 170CC and it was a sweet little boat. I sold it last month and ordered a 195CC. I hope it's as good as my 17'. I did not have one negative issue with it during four seasons and 440 hours on my Yamaha 60HP 4 stroke. I know you'll enjoy yours. Good luck.
John D.

I got mine last September, Fishalot, and I also love it. I've had 6 persons on board for joy rides, and it stands right up and planes out nicely with the 75 Yamaha 4-stroke with only one person on the bow. I have muscular dystrophy, so I really appreciate the gentle ride charachteristics of this boat, and the wife likes it too. Crustatean-covered pilings are no longer a problem with this boat. I simply use my hobby heat gun to smooth out any scratches. Who needs bumpers? Not me! Drifting in 18 inches of water is not a problem, and the riptide remote wireless 55 lb thrust trolling motor is so easy to use to make corrections. Congrats on a great purchase!
