The 17 is my personal favorite of the series which may seem odd given that my personal boat is a 20. The 20 happens to be my wife's favorite so I am not about to cross her on this one. Gotta be accommodating when it is easy after all.

Basically I like the 17 most because it seems to give the most bang for the buck. It is spacious enough to take out 5 or 6 in substantial comfort with plenty of room for stowage.

Stowage of gear seems to be one of the biggest shortcomings of most traditional small craft. The CS series is astonishing in the amount of space to stow gear between the ample seat locker storage as well as foredeck and lazarette stowage options.
