I received pictures of a completed FS17 built in Crystal River area of FL.
Finish is first rate. Paint is sterling, all the supplies came from us. Hopefully the builder will chime in a share more on his build.
ENGINE IS MORE THAN WE RECOMMEND

Thanks for all of the complements. The proof of the build will be this weekend. I hope to have the rub rail installed and the Fl regestration by then. Let's hope the waterline is somewhere below the new rubrail!
I'm also a little concerned about the remaining freeboard aft with the larger engine. I kinda used jgroves FS17 as a mobel. He didnt appear to have any issue with the weight of his Honda. The Yamaha weighs about 32 pounds more. I just hope the 19 gallons of fuel weight in the bow will compensate for it.

Beautiful job KRE! Very nice boat...you should be proud.
I think the part I love best about seeing new boats built is how the builder modifies the boat to his/her particular needs. You don't really see too many identical boats. These FS17's are sure a great example. Jeremy's vs KRE's vs. Steve's high sides vs. Joels low sheer etc.
Again...very nice boat!
