Did they really?

I know it's a 17ft boat, but did the new design on the cape horn really fix the wet ride? Will put the boat in the water b4 taking it home but wanted to know a head of time if i should take my slicker??

Your cryptic post got my attention so I researched these boats. It would appear that "earlier" boats were a very wet ride, but somewhere around 2000/2001 they changed the design and I've seen mention that this eliminated the need to wear a wet suit !

Is there ANY 17'er that is dry? Nope- just some a little drier than others. The Cape is a great little boat. Power by Yamaha!
