 Re: Wahoo Boats and comparable 17
My buddy Brent is selling his Wahoo 16. It's a very good shallow water/beach type boat. He uses it mainly in the Rappahannock but takes it down to Nags Head every once in a while. The boat is very good on gas as it is light and shallow drafted. Because of the modified V it's very stable while drifting, but for the same reason gives you a little pounding once the water gets big (as compared to my Mako).
Here's the long and short:
VERY low hour 2000 Johnson 70hp, Navman fishfinder, Magellan color chartplotter, Uniden DSC VHF w/ 8' antenna, Jensen CD/AM/FM w/ speakers, auto bilge pumps, dual batteries, etc etc etc.
If you are interested I'll get you his number.
Otherwise, since you are looking for something that handles larger, I highly recommend a classic Mako (like mine!). Another friend with a Montauk 17 recently commented that he thought my boat was no smaller than 19'. It really does carry itself as a larger boat.
