The Adventure does have a 1775 SS that is side console, but it limited to 90Hp where the sport (full windshield) is 115hp.

I just got the 1775 Adventure with 115 Merc this season and it fished LOTW well. The rail system is very useful to switch between casting and trolling quickly. The jump seats in the rear also help keep an open floor for moving around. Storage of 9'+ rods isn't the best but what 17' boat is. I was between the Alumacraft or Lund. The Lund being available compared to a possible delivery date on the Alumacraft is what ultimately pushed me to Lund. Let me know if you have any Lund Adventure specific questions.
