andrei: does your 17 have the 'old style' cockpit without the hatch along the transom?
How do you like the 4 cycle motor versus the 2 cycle one? Is there a major advantage, or should I stick with good old Evinrude, for the total of 1 hour/year I use the motor? if a motor reliable the only reason for a 4-cycle over a 2-cycle is environmental.
