just a thought........why not look at a Montauk. I know nothing about a 17 Outrage but had a 15 and have a 17 Montauk. A 17 to me just gives you so much more capabilities. With the right power you can get well above 7 mpg. With a 22(24) gallon tank that is over 140 miles range. RPS of a 17 is much more comfortable that a much lower seat in a 15. You can go offshore on a good day. There is a small console to keep some gear dry. A bimini top will keep the rain and sun off. I would think the 17 montauk is much lighter than a 17 outrage. Sell a few boats and go with a Montauk.
