 Sold 17 ft and bought a 2017 Xpress 16 ft front stick steer with 40 hp Yamaha ob.  

2007 Triton 176 Magnum Aluminum, 115 Mercury Optimax. Hot foot, 24 volt 70lb thrust motor guide trolling motor, live wells.

Hobbie Outback SUV, 12.5ft long, 3.2ft wide, dual legs-dual arms powered, running on less than 1/2 horse power, with max speed at 4.3 knots.

We use a 19'' Bluewave Center Console 115 hp 80lb tm. We love the fishability of the Center Console. Added our big open water lakes and of course the available salt water trips its just a great fit for us. I will also add that we use Diablo 12' kayaks on smaller water/river trips I prefer the Diablo on stability and ease of fly fishing.
