Thanks JB, I bought this boat in Brainerd MN, thinking of rebuilding it and keeping it for myself, basically the same boat as my !9 starfire, my son and I measured it and the inside depth is the same as the 19 ft, 29 inches it;s about 3 inches narrower, and 1 foot shorter from the dashes to the stern, so gives me a lot of interior space, I'm thinking I have a lot of money tied up in the 19 so going to flip it and have the 17 for half the price, I made a typo on the first post the motor on this one is a 75 hp not a 175, I've got a line on a 2000 135 merc optimax that I will be putting on the 17 and sell the 75 and the 9.9 kicker, the 17 is rated for 125 so I don't think 10 extra hp should hurt.
