Owner Experience Review

Owners gravitate to the 1017 GTfromFRAUSCHERas a fast, owner‑driven dayboat that also stretches into short family weekends. Real‑world use ranges from spirited day cruising to professional skippered charters on the Côte d’Azur and in Croatia. The model has been in production approximately since 2008, and a second‑generation "1017 GT Air" premiered on January 19, 2019.

On the water, the deep‑V, twin‑step hull with twin sterndrives gets on plane quickly and tracks with the precise, nimble manners owners expect of a performance dayboat. Multiple tests cite a dry, comfortable ride in chop and report mid/upper‑40s to 50–60+ knots with 430 hp packages, summed up by Yachting’s line, "You're screaming across a lake‑flat Biscayne Bay at 50 knots," and a European test calling the performance "simply crazy".

Onboard, the focus is on social space and finish: generous cockpit seating, large aft sunpads, teak and tailored upholstery, with a compact cabin below offering a double berth and a separate head/wet‑room. It is weekend‑capable rather than a long‑term liveaboard, and upkeep aligns with high‑performance sterndrives—regular outdrive checks, anodes and routine engine servicing—with service access under aft hatches and beneath cockpit seating that is workable but tighter than on larger boats; engine brand choice (MerCruiser or Volvo Penta) influences service network and costs.

Pros and Cons

• Dry, comfortable deep‑V ride with quick planing, nimble and precise handling.
• High real‑world speeds (mid/upper‑40s to 50–60+ knots with 430 hp engines) and strong acceleration.
• Generous cockpit social areas and high‑quality finishes, with a double berth and separate head for weekend use.
• Compact galley and limited interior volume make it better for weekends than long‑term cruising.
• Engine and drive access is under aft hatches and cockpit seating, workable but tighter than on larger boats.
• High‑performance sterndrive maintenance applies, and service network/costs vary by engine brand.
