Boat Advice?

I would look at deadrise and beam, the 17' whaler is a skinny platform and a very wet ride. Try the bay bolt series by hydra-sports.

I looked at Aquasport 175's a couple years ago and really liked them. They're laid out nicely and are versatile as well. Other than that, a lot of boats in that class were fairly similar in layouts.

Take a look at the Grady White 18. Bib boat for that size that will give you offshore ability.

I have a 20' Aquasport and love it. Been out around the Elizabeths from Onset and from Plymouth to Cohasset. Can be a wet ride if you are heading into a strong enough wind. Probably the same with any boat.......
