17´bow rider options

[Samikoo]

Did you consider the GV17 ? Seems to have the highest capacity amongst 17 footers, and reasonably high sheer. Exists in bow rider version.

No, not really. The looks of her don't float my boat, if you know what I mean... Otherwise it would be a really smart choice.

Actually, I have to confess I've been looking at the GV17 study plans a lot lately. The load capacity is something that intrigues me, and the fact it has some very personal looks. I know I shouldn't say this, but with a few minor tweeks she could look O.K. Like the Roughneck boats from Lowe, and even a little bit like the finnish XO DFNDR if equipped with the right accessories.

I just can't find any info on finished boats, like what kind of engines they used, what was the comfortable cruising speed etc...

Samikoo Will in South Carolina built one and documented it pretty well. I well try to find it for you. It was a really pretty boat when he was done with it as I recall.
