I agree. I had the 17 and found it to be very comfortable, stable, and roomy. Great on fuel too. I had a 75hp merc on it.Also had a t-top with all the electronics inside it. Its a little bumpy on anything over 3' but superb in light seas. This is an old pic from'99. If I get another boat, I won't hesitate to get another Key Largo, just a little bigger though.
G and S marine is
great guys.
Like the Reaper said though, keep safety foremost. One of the reasons I got out of boat fishing is because of safety. I really liked night fishing in it, but had a lot of close calls. Its really easy to get into a lot of trouble quickly out there. Maybe spend some time in a buddy's boat before going it on your own.
