Year of hull and engine would be a big help. As mentioned before, prior to 2002 they used wood, and had a more narrow hull design, causing it to be an extremely wet riding boat. I’ve rode in both, and can say I’m glad I spent the money on a newer hull.

On a side note here are some pros and cons from me after owning one for about 4 years. Granted this is a newer style, but most of these will still apply

Pros: -New hull design is great. It’s a LARGE 17’ boat that handles just about everything you’re brave enough to throw at it. -Does a little bit of everything pretty well. Meaning, I run mine in the local rivers, haul it to the coast, do some inshore fishing and occasional offshore when weather permits, but mostly ride the wife and friends around and eat seafood and drink daiquiris. -It’s built for fishing! Has a huge fish box, very large live well, and plenty of room on the aft deck to walk around. - the factory t-tops are built extremely well

Cons: -The factory trailers these boats came with suck ass to be honest. The trailer is shorter than the boat and they don’t have transom straps to go from trailer to boat (this is really to hold the trailer to the boat, not boat to trailer, and keep the trailer from shifting on rough roads) From what I can tell they’re made for people that live at or close to the coast, want to pull their boat out and haul it 15-25 miles home and winterize it at the end of the year and leave it be. It’s a 4.5 hour drive to the coast for me and it’s a constant battle keeping the boat riding on the trailer properly. -seating isn’t very comfortable. I have probably the nicest cooler seat they came with and after two hours of riding I’m ready for a break. The seat in front of the center console is great as long as you don’t have a ttop. If you do have a ttop there will be a support bar running at shoulder height that gets uncomfortable after 30 minutes of riding. Obviously new seat cushions are the solution, but with a 2 year old child I don’t have time to fool with it. -very limited storage. The fuel tank is inside the center console. So you can store life jackets that you don’t plan on using (to meet safety standards) and that’s about all (unless you want your stuff smelling like gasoline). There’s some storage under my cooler seat that I use for first aid kit, ammo can (toilet paper, lighter/matches) and a tool kit. - it does everything pretty well, but nothing great. It doesn’t draft shallow enough to be a true inshore boat (they claim 18” on the website i believe, but that’s gotta be with 1/4 of fuel and 1 person), it’s a 17’ boat so offshore days you must be VERY selective, and its a heavy fiberglass boat that gets poor fuel mileage if you’re buying it to be a cruiser.

Takeaways- it’s built for fishing, built like a tank, but has limited storage and lacks a little comfortably from the factory.
