Used 170 CC

I have a 2002 170 CC with 80 four stroke Yam as well. Have bow mounted Minn Kota 12v. trolling motor for beating the Mangroves in FL or creeks in coastal NC.

The gunwale mounted rod holders were discouraged by Triumph some years back. Some owners on this site have made this modification per postings. You may check the Advanced Search.

I have rod holders, two SS mounted on the side rails and two less expensive plastic mounted on the CC grab rail. This gives me four rod holders that I can see the rods without looking backward or to the side. With the right length rods and angle of holders, I can pull the four lures clean or use one or both of the CC rail mount with flat line clips. All I need without using a hole saw.

Several other "improvements" over the years. Also some lessons learned. Posted most of them under Jim Jenkins. Will share as you wish.

The 170 CC is a great little boat...
