Affordable, durable, and easily towed, a Utility Boat is an excellent solution for the boater who wants a versatile and multi-purpose style of craft. It’s an ideal choice for fishing, youth water sports, or just plain old cruising and exploring!
The 17 FHT V-hull boat from Grand River Boats offers a stable ride and quality build at a very affordable price! This rugged, 16-foot long boat features, comfortable seating for three, a fishing rod locker, a generous livewill, and ample storage for all of your gear. This model is designed for skimming across shallow flats, or for maneuvering narrow channels without compromising handling and performance. 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 F70
The recommended motor for the Freedom 17 FHT ranges from the Yamaha F40 all the way up to the F70. Enhanced reliability, exceptionally smooth and quiet operation, outstanding fuel efficiency, maximum performance, and convenience. All combine to make this range of outboard motors an incredibly powerful and versatile value.
