Location: Watersmeet, Michigan | I have the 1675 SS (side console) and like it for the most part, but I find it's just too light. With relatively high sides and weighing only 1125 lbs., it's like a cork in the water on a windy day, making boat control at low speeds extremely difficult. (I walleye fish a lot, so this issue is is a big minus in my book.) Since the 1775 is just a foot longer and 95 lbs. heavier, I've no doubt the same issue applies.
Mine has the Merc 90 hp. four stroke; with two guys and gear it tops out at 38 mph. (Yes, go with the 115) It's surprisingly stable in waves and the handling is excellent. If money were no object, I'd definitely go with a glass boat, but you'll find the Impact a good boat at an excellent price.
