[QUOTE="drivenmarine.net, post: 234604, member: 971"] I have spent a lot of time in 1785s. I had a tiller with a 75 Merc 2-stroke for many years. I really loved that boat. It controlled great, rode dry for a small tiller (can be wet at times), rode very smooth, and was set up nice for fishing. It would run 34MPH or so and had a good hole shot. Key will be to prop it right. I sold that boat for a 1785 console boat when my kids were little. That one was okay, but was pretty cramped inside. They will handle pretty much any water conditions you want to throw at them. There is a reason that hull has been around since the 80s and has been copied by so many others. My brother ran two 1785 side consoles that were also great boats. The quality has been great on all of them, and both of us now have 209s. The folks at North Country Marine have been good to deal with. I would also take a look at the Backtroller boats built in MN. They look like another nice tiller boat in that 17' class. [/QUOTE]
