I have been consistently impressed with the Necky 17. I had heard lots of good things about Necky and wasn't sure whether I should go for the polymer or not. I was a little worried about how it would hold up in rough seas and for longer trips but it really held its own in the boundary waters, on the bay in Maryland, on the blue way in Florida and on the lake in North Carolina.
On the water it's fast and turns really well and on land it's light and easy to load onto my truck without any help. My only issue was the price, it was a little on the high side for what you get but I'd make the same purchase again, you pay for quality.
