Both are good big water hulls. The 1760 is  somewhat better because of a more advanced running bottom and is a bit more stable at rest for the same reason. I fished a 1700 (16'10" nose to transom) for the last two years, and used them around here in the Rhinelander area and on a couple trips to MN. It's a good two man, and somewhat limited but workable 3 man ride. It's a +or- either way depending on conditions a 40 MPH rig with a 90. If I was buying a 1700 today, I'd rig it with a Merc 115 4 stroke.

The 1760 fishes more like an 18' boat. It's been a few years since I owned one, but the ride in that boat is excellent, speed with a 150 at 50 MPH +, and fuel economy at 4300 and 40 MPH loaded no different than the 1700 at WOT with a 115 at 40 MPH. The extra room and front deck length is nice. Of course, the price difference is quite a bit going with a 150, but not all that much with a 115 Opti XS, and the 1760 is low 40's with that engine. If I was getting a 1760 Esox Deep V today, I'd rig it with a 115 Opti XS.
