I own a 2002 170 CC with a 50 hp Yamaha 2 stroke. As a fishing boat it's adequately powered for Lake Bomoseen in VT. You'll want more horses if you intend to tow water toys or water ski. I've been involved with all sorts of boats in all kinds of sloppy water on that lake for almost 50 years and can say that the 170 has the smoothest rough water ride I've experienced in a 17 footer. This spring I intend to add a hydrofoil to the cavitation plate for better low speed performance.
Hope this helps.
