15s have a cult following, and it does take a while to find one in decent condition. Since they are relatively sought-after, you'll probably be doing well if you can find a straight trade - may have to actually add cash to the deal.

But I'm with the previous poster - can you clarify what about your current boat is difficult for you? I routinely launch and retrieve both a 15 and an 18 singlehanded, and while the 15 is obviously easier, there's not a ton of difference. Maybe there's something you can to to make handling the 17 easier.

I always kind of like the Outrage 17s myself - cool intermediate size.
