I know you 18 owners think you are hot stuff, cuz let's face it, you are. But, there are many advantages to the 17.6 as well. For example:
That hull surprised me. They have a 75hp limit on their lake. The boat hauls the six of us and still skis very well. The additional foot in the width makes a lot of difference. She won the nationals with it the first year they had it. jim/dad
Great pictures! 18, 17.6 or 20, these boats will always be the true original ski boats and they make for great ski team and family memories - and great photo ops. Heck, even Racoons like them! I have yet to try out a 17.6 or a 20 but hope to at some point. One thing that I really like about your particular 17.6 is the "Hydrodyne" name on the back of the boat. I wonder how many were made under the Hydrodyne name... MarkBano
