| Had a 1760GT for 7 seasons. Very good boat in windy conditions. Being low to the water for a deepV helps with controlled drifting. It also does very well in Mille Lacs and Leech Lake sized waves for a 17.5' boat. I never felt unsafe in very windy conditions on those water bodies. Very versatile boat as it was equally at home on a 100 acre bass lake.
I never even considered the capped version when I ordered mine. I don't think the cap looks that much nicer and I wanted the lower profile. Plus the wide open layout is what I prefer. I personally never understood the fuel fill location issue everyone has. I kept rods on both sides of the boat without issue but I have a tiller.
Not sure on your budget/garage but don't forget about the 1890 either. I sold my 1760 and moved to an 1890. Had I spent the extra money up front I wouldn't have bought a different boat last year. It doesn't need anymore space width wise, can launch on all the same lakes, better rough water ride, and just a lot more room. | |
