I am looking into a few used 17 footers right now. One is a 1996 170 w/ a 115 Mariner and another is a 1999 700 lx w/ a 120 force. I know these are both basically the same size and very similar boats. But, they seem to have very different looking hulls. I'm fairly new to boating (only had our present boat for just over a year,so if It seems like I'm lost, I probably am.
Would one or the other have a faster or better riding hull? I prefer the looks anf layout of the newer one but it is more expensive. Any suggestions? How fast should these boats be? What do you guys like, or dislike about these boats? Thanks. Josh
