2014 Dragonfly Grand Slam 17Sold

Step aboard and you’ll notice how open and uncluttered this 17-footer feels, with wide, clean casting decks that let two anglers work comfortably without tangling lines. The low freeboard keeps you close to the water for quick net shots, while the raised bow platform gives great visibility when hunting tailing fish. Rod storage is thoughtfully laid out so your gear stays out of the way but always within reach. The hull has that sweet balance between a skinny-water draft and enough deadrise to soften the chop when the afternoon breeze kicks up. It’s an easy boat to trailer, launch, and rinse down, making spontaneous dawn missions or after-work runs genuinely simple.

This Dragonfly Grand Slam 17 is tailor-made for areas with expansive grass flats, oyster bars, and maze-like mangrove shorelines. The shallow draft lets you slide across skinny water to reach unpressured spots, while the stable platform keeps you sure-footed when sight-casting on clear, calm mornings. When the weather turns bumpy across open bays or channels, the hull’s ride quality helps keep things dry and controlled. Its size is ideal for tight creeks and residential canals, yet still comfortable enough for runs to nearby sandbars or barrier islands. Paired with efficient power and easy handling, it’s a smart choice for anglers who split their time between technical inshore fishing and relaxed day cruising.
