Have owned 170 CC since new 2002. Most options purchased with delivery but additions over the years have added to user satisfaction.

Have 55 lb. thrust Minn Kota Trolling motor on a quick removal base with bow motot plug and deep cycle battery under console.

Both Doel fin and trim tabs. Great to run in various seas and loads on boat. Most benifit of Doel fin is carving turns vs. skidding.

Todd adjustable heigth leaning post. Has four rod holders and storage. Room for 55 qt. Rubbermaid between legs of Post.

Two drawer tackle storage installed in port side of console. After market from Bass Pro. The 2002 had a nice flat space for this addition.

Timer for live well pump. Conserves battery and actually keeps baits more frisky with high flow but will cycle off as desired.

Many rod holders clamped to side rails and console grab rail. One on each side rail, two vertical on console rail and two accross top that are set to angle out for trolling, drifting or anchored out to soak baits.

Also have a horizontal rod holder mounted down port side. Boatbuckle?? Had to be modified a bit to be installed but work very well

Lorance depth finder with speed and temp.

Purchased as option the bow seat but only used a few times fishing fresh water. Stripers at night... Console/livewell coushion and stern seat coushions stay in storage unless the boat is going to play at a local lake.

Use Garmin handheld GPS H2O black & white and hand held Uniden VHF that is used more for weather than communication.

This boat is used almost exclusively for fishing but will pull a tube, skis, wake or knee board. My son and daughter-in-law with friends use the boat several times each season. The 80 hp. 4 stroke Yam. serves nicely with only a sip of gas. Typically play all day at the lake and fill up with 6-8 gallons.

Over time this boat has become loaded but not loaded down.... Obviously this stuff is not for every one.
