I have owned a 17SC Yar and currently own a Ranger 690. My opinion:

Both are great boats. I loved my Yar...very well built, handled all water well, and very fishable. Agreed that it sits higher, but it does give you a very good dry ride on big water. It wasn't an issue for me and I thought it was a great musky boat.

I will say that once I went Ranger, I would prefer not to go back. I think the quality is unmatched and the feel and fishability is great. You will pay more for Ranger and need to factor that in. Resale will be better with a Ranger, but is not bad by any means with a Yar. If resale is important though, keep in mind you are comparing an '07 Yar & '10 Ranger.

If it was me, I would probably make the decision based on how much I was going to use the boat and if I could justify spending the extra $ based on useage. I don't beleive you would be disappointed with the quality of either.
