Hi guys,
I'm on the point to buy a Mitzi 17.
Who have one or ever fished on, could you tell me what you think about these boats?
thanks

Alexis,
I have fished a bunch on the mitzi 15 and 17 tunnel hull. For the money these boats are great, no bells and whistles just a fiberglass hull that will go really skinny. The only negative things I have seen are the hull slap, makes a little too much noise when poling on a breezy day, they ride fairly wet on choppy days, and they rock easily for bigger people. Where do you plan on using this boat? |

sounds like you will really need to test the boat and its fishability when you get it ... it will be tough and a big sacrafice for me ... but i would be willing to help you out and get on the bow and cast to some fish in the french antillas .... a  |
