    Looks like a good rig. It will be fun breaking in a new boat with some fresh fish slime and scales.

    That is nice looking boat. I sure like the idea of a stick steer. I would love to be able to fish and drive from the same seat. That would be perfect. I have not driven one. How hard are they to steer? Seems like you could mess up fairly easily driving one but again I haven't driven one. I wonder how a 17' one would do on mid size waters? Anyway, great looking boat. I am jealous.

    I don't have a lot of time in a stick steer. But have driven one and while it is a little different I like the fact I don't have to get up and move to the front to start trolling and fishing. I am in my mid 60's...carrying way too much weight.....one knee has been replaced......another knee needs replacing and also a hip...so wanted a boat I would be sitting down in and not up on a deck moving around and go overboard. They are now able to hook up 90 HP engines with stick steer using hydraulic steering. Saw one that was 18 feet with a 60 HP engine on it. Mine is just mechanical steering but really looking forward to getting it.

    I use a mechanical stick steer on my 1860 Landau with 50hp ...

    Took some tweaking of the deflector fin on the bottom of the cavitation plate but it handles fine ...

    Great looking boat Alpha ...

    My last boat was a stick boat and I moved to a bass boat in '09 for lower back comfort. I still wish I had it from time to time, and always miss the versatility of it. I predict many happy days in that ride. I wish you well.

    Love it. I have a Smooth Moves suspension on the front seat....rides as smooth as silk. This will probably be the last boat I buy....but if I did decide to get another one it would be same company......same layout.....but would get the 16 footer with a 72 inch wide bottom and a 60 horse on it. I fish a lot of tail waters and have to deal with lot of rocks. This 125 gauge hull is tough as nails.
