I have been looking at buying a new aluminum boat and the Stryker 17 has caught my eye. Anyone have one of these boats or fished from one of them? Its max rate for a 60 hp motor and that is what I intend on putting on it.

I've got a 2002 Lowe WF 180. It is less than a foot longer than what you're looking at. I think overall that Lowe boats are well made. What I like most about my Lowe is that I can fish around rocks and stumps, and I can smack into stuff and keep going. The guys with the glass boats have to be more careful. I'd think that would be an almost perfect boat to be bouncing around the rocks up close to Pickwick dam.
