If you want the 17 and it's within your means, and if you know something
about trailering and wheel bearing health and repair and wiring of lights and
so
on, go for it. Utah's not far, in dog years. If you're healthy and feel
comfortable with the rigging, do it. (It's not a featherweight boat, though.
Make
sure your towing vehicle is a match for it AND for the ramps that you intend
to use. That said, the 15 floats off the trailer so fast, you have to make
sure somebody's got a dock line in hand before you forget.
I love my 15 but if my life could expand to take in an M17, I do it without a
thought. Doesn't fit my domestically awkward situation right now. (Wish it
did -- at least I'd have a comfortable place to sleep, and fry an egg. But
you'll have to wait for my bittersweet novel in order to get the details.)
