The Mitzi 17 is the result of years of input from anglers wanting a larger version of our original 15. What we ended up with was a boat to meet the demands of the professional charter captain or the most demanding shallow water angler. From it's ability to get you home comfortably to its ultra stealthy no hull slap hull, it's truly an angler's boat. The 17's CAD designed hull has enhanced performance second to no other shallow draft skiff, at any price. Looking for an easy to pole boat, that will do 45mph with a 60 Hp engine? Want a boat capable of fishing 3 or 4 people? Want lots of storage, easy maintenance, and a boat that has been called remarkably dry? Look no further.
The 17's wider gunnels, increased rod storage, baitwell and release well options... and a host of other things will make you agree, this is one truly awesome shallow water skiff.
Mitzi 17 Tournament
You've asked for it, and now it's here. The Mitzi 17 Tournament: equipped the way you want it, built out of years of input. The Mitzi 17 Tournament has all the standard features as the Mitzi 17 with the options you've been asking for. The bait well console was added to keep your live bait alive.
We've added the rear release well for the tournament fisherman, to keep the catch alive. Next we've added the built-in fuel take, so you can carry a little more fuel. And finally we added the console rod rack, and for comfort the 3 piece cushion set. To set it all off, we have also included the exclusive 17 tournament decals. We know this boat will get you ready for whatever type of fishing you do, pleasure or tournament. Let's go fishing!!!
