Just thought I would make a post for those that are lurking, like I did, looking for info on a boat.
I have it set up with a 75 E-tec and a 70 lbs Minnkota bow mount.
I just received my boat last week. I cannot say enough about this thing. Six of us were in it for four days bass fishing. No problem at all for space. All of us were even on one side of the boat and it hardly moved. I could go 35 mph with all of us in the boat, as a cruising speed. Although the hole shot was not super fast it was better than I expected.
The inital run, I took my wife out in 30 kmh winds and rough water. We were doing 30 mph and it felt like we were cutting butter with a hot knife. She was happy that it was a stable and dry ride (she got one drop on her knee).
I could not get over how much battery power the trolling motor did not use. After four days of heavy use it is still at the same charge as I started.
This boat does not feel like it is a 17 foot boat. It is actually 2 inches shorter than my last boat.
