I never thought I'd be a fan of Pangas but for a utility boat they sure fit the profile. A 17footer would do just about anything you want.

Not sure what it is. It was the second boat I ever owned and I put endless hours on it. I had a 1980 3cyl Johnson 70 hp on her and she would fly. We could even wake board behind it. Not so sexy looking but rides good and a ton of room. It had a new floor in it and transom as well. I was going to take off the windshield and mount a center console in it and think it would look nice that way. You could even make a new windshield for it too, I saw your handy work on the 21'. She dose ride well, I have had it in the ocean and many times in the Pamlico sound. It dose not pound, turns well and dose not draft much water. I had it in some bad situations and never got in a bind. A little love and care she would make a nice little run-a-round!

HeyTerry, they are both Carolina dorys. Included both just to get your creativity flowing. The second one has the motor mounted "inboard" rather than the transom. Very common in NoCal and Oregon power dorys, presumably to keep the motor out of the nets and rocks, being one less thing to jump over when beach launching.

They are rugged, stable and incredibly seaworthy while running 20 knots on 25 ponies. Not exactly a "stroker." But you'll save gas for hauling a$$ in the Moesly

Moose, Fly, Gilly,

All of the above have potential. The only thing wrong with a Panga is that it may be out of my price range...meaning I don't want to buy a 5-10k boat...when I can get one for free, and then spend 20k on it making it my own and I can't use it for 2-5 years...LOL
