I couldn't agree more with transfueler!
My 1988 17 SS Limited is a very versatile boat, cruising, fishing or skiing it does it all incredibly well.
Add a pair of grab rails around both console windshields and you can stand up and drive like a Montauk.
Back fiberglass platform is great for watersports entry into the water and as a fishing platform.

BTW, I know that 1988 and newer Super Sport LTD's have no wood, it is a fiberglass insert.
