Nice looking rig. Plenty of front and rear deck space even for a 17 footer.   8-)

Nice boat but appears as though there is aluminum exposed. It you want to keep the boat looking as good as it does new, it will drive you nuts. I have a Basstracker 175 and try to keep it looking good and cleaning the aluminum is long and painful regardless of what anyone tells you to use. But is a great looking boat
