Thanks Chris, I have also been considering 17' . Not sure I need 18 footer , but almost everyone sais a bigger boat would have been nice. It is so hard to find a decent boat now days that I have been considering settling for a 16' too. My1990 Alumacraft V16 / 1997 25 Merc has been flawless . Only one rivet leaks a little bit. The 4 bench seats however, are very hard to fish out of. Ya need to jump over benches just to get to the front to anchor, and I need to twist my back to handle the tiller . At 60 this spring, it is hard on my back . I have had the boat since new and just time to get something a little better for Green Bay, and a Lake called Lake Winnebago.
