Owner Experience Review
Owners and reviewers consistently frame the 1720CCbyKEY WESTas an inshore/bay fishing platform that doubles comfortably for family fishing days, light sportfishing, and relaxed weekend cruising. Listings and manuals show examples from the early 1990s through current catalog entries, and many treat it as a trailerable first or small second boat.
On the water, owners and testers describe a steady, stable 17' center-console that handles choppy coastal bays reasonably well for its size. Reports note a “great hull, simple boat” feel with predictable handling; with a 90 hp outboard some owners have seen about 39 mph solo, and the boat planes quickly with 90–115 hp, typically cruising in the high-20s to low-30s depending on load.
Comfort is oriented to day use: bow cushions and aft jump seats complement a cockpit-focused layout with dedicated fish boxes and a livewell, plus practical console storage where a battery is commonly installed. There is no cabin, and some owners comment that the seat/console height feels low for them. Routine ownership centers on straightforward outboard service, but used-boat shoppers are advised to inspect hull/gelcoat for wear from beaching or grounding and to be aware that older examples have seen fuel-tank replacements (e.g., early-1990s boats).
Pros and Cons
- Stable, predictable inshore ride that handles choppy bays reasonably well for a 17' center-console.
- Quick to plane with 90–115 hp, with owners reporting high-20s/low-30s cruise and about 39 mph solo with a 90 hp.
- Practical day-boat layout with bow cushions, aft jump seats, fish boxes, a livewell, and useful console storage.
- No cabin accommodations, so usage is limited to day trips.
- Some owners find the helm/seat ergonomics too low for comfort.
- Used-boat checks should include gelcoat/hull wear from beaching and, on older examples, possible fuel-tank replacement.
