A question for the OP, did you ever go look at the boat you mentioned ?
Any update ?

This thing handles a couple of feet of river chop fine. If it gets much higher, I don,t really want to be out in it anyways.
I,m looking for a copy of the 1995 boaters that did the review on these boats. If by some slim chance anyone has a copy laying around, I would love to purchase it from you.
Yep, my buddy surprised a LOT of boats on Lake Michigan with his U19!

Not trying to rush you, just wondering if you had a chance to check on that 1995 magazine that did the review on the FOUR WINNS UNLIMITED 17 or 19 ?
Cheers

I too own a 1996 U17. I love the boat! Anyone that says they don't handle well or can't handle rough water never drove one or don't know how to drive a boat like this. Did you ever find a better prop than the 23 pitch viper?

Since there were only a few of these boats built it's not like there's going to be many updates or replies. I'm hoping to find other people that own one of these boats to share information!
