Although console boats are mostly known for fishing, these popular and adaptable boats are also suited for a wide range of activities from water-skiing to cruising to entertaining. They also offer lots of deck space and seating in the front and the back for additional passengers; truly a great “do-all” boat!
For boaters and anglers that desire a console arrangement coupled with a wide-bodied, stable ride in a compact package – the best option is the Freedom 17 SC from Grand River Boats. This rugged, 16-foot boat features side console steering, comfortable seating for three (plus jump seats), fishing rod locker, huge livewill, large fore and aft casting decks, and ample storage for all of your gear. This boat is the perfect fishing companion!
Powered by Yamaha for confident power on the water.
Counteract the twisting action of the engine’s weight and thrust, transferring this torque energy across the boats entire hull.
2. REINFORCED BOW SUPPORT
Provides rigidity, consistency and energy dispersion when hitting a wave.
3. EXTRA THICK HULL DESIGN
Polar Kraft boats are hand formed out of the thickest aluminum on the market — making our boats the toughest in the industry.
4. SIX STURDY I-BEAM LONGITUDINAL STRINGERS
Run the entire length of the boat and combine with traverse bulkheads to create torque boxes that provide each Polar Kraft boat with exceptional support of the running surface, which translates into a smoother ride.
5. TORQUE BOXES
Formed by the I-beam transverse bulkheads that are found throughout the lower hull section — provides superior strength and the smoothest ride on the water.
6. URETHANE CLOSED CELL FOAM
A dentist doesn’t fill half a cavity so why do some boat manufacturers? Polar Kraft goes to extreme lengths to fill our hull chambers with erethane closed cell foam which creates more buoyancy for safety and a quieter rig in shallow water to reduce spooking fish.
POWERED BY A YAMAHA F90
Grand River Boats highly recommends the Yamaha F90 motor for the Freedom 17 SC. This outboard has been reinvented to be even lighter and more compact for greater torque and stronger acceleration. A great choice for a variety of boats – the Yamaha F90 is the strongest 90-hp motor money can buy.
