Our old 17 hulls are tricky.
Sure they pound in swells,
but they are acceptable at realistic speeds.
The huge plus for us is at anchor,
super stable with kids/dogs diving and low enough to climb over the side.
I helped a friend mount an outboard bracket on his sailboat,
we were both in the stern side,
holding up a 6 hp Johnson with no tipping issues.
Dashed any dreams of wanting a panga or other hull.

A great multi-use platform...
