Hey there, I'm looking into a 17' Malibu Tyee.
I will be using it for the big lower mainland lakes, Alouette, Harrison, Cutus, Chilliwack etc. As well as some near shore Howe Sound, West Van type of salmon action. I just sold my aluminum modified V looking for something that handle the chop better and tow a tube for the kids a few times in the summer.
Any gotchas to look for in the 1990's vintage? Other than checking the usual stuff for soft floor or transom, etc. Are there any fundamental flaws in these boats?
Sweet spot for power? 75, 90, 115?
I appreciate your insights.
