Anyone out there looking to upgrade or ditch there 17' Willie drift boat. Just sold my 16 footer and wanted to upgrade. Any suggestions would be great. I have tried at the dealership but the used guide boats are really really beat-up. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

I don't think I could "upgrade" from my 17 ft Willies boat. Its as nice as boats get !!! I also had a 16 ft for the last 15 years or so and the extra ft comes in pretty handy.. True story

Used Willies are hard to find. I have been looking for a 16 footer. The only ones I have been able to find are beat up pretty badly. May have to save up for a new one.

I've been looking for a year. Finally gave up and ordered new with every option I wanted. I figure this 3rd driftboat will be my last so I wanted it my way. First was <---- this wood boat I built. 2nd was a thoroughly thrashed 16' Willie Guide model. Every scratch and dent that goes into the 3rd boat, a new 17' Willie will be proudly put there by me. I can't wait for it to be finished!!!!
