Hey Mike,
I'm a fan of tracker or fisher. Mine is a 16' tracker with a 60 HP Merc. I have towed a tube and 5 people on board at a speed of 20MPH. at 5200 rpms. The tracker and fisher are basiclly the same boat. Mine has an almost 8' beam and is very stable for fishing and ruff fwater. A 75hp merc would probably do you just fine attached to a 17' boat. I prefer aluminum over fiber, they take a little more abuse. Larry
