2018 Rossiter 17 CC

Slide behind the wheel of this Rossiter 17 CC and you’ll feel the difference in the first hundred yards. The deep, secure cockpit and reassuringly high bow make it feel like a much bigger boat when the chop builds. Classic sheer lines and a finely flared bow throw spray wide, so you stay dry even when you’re pushing that Yamaha. Thoughtful touches are everywhere: molded steps to the foredeck, solid stainless hardware, and wide, easy-to-walk side decks for tending lines or anchoring. Storage is intelligently tucked under seats and in the console, keeping gear out of the way but close at hand. It’s a small center console with big-boat manners and timeless style.

This Rossiter 17 CC is tailor-made for the mix of sheltered waterways and open stretches you’ll find in this region. The seaworthy hull tracks straight in a breeze and feels rock solid when crossing bigger boat wakes or afternoon chop. Its size makes it easy to trailer to different ramps and launch sites, yet it still offers the range and comfort for full days of exploring, swimming, or casual fishing. The self-bailing cockpit and rugged construction handle unpredictable weather and floating debris with confidence, while the efficient Yamaha four-stroke keeps operating costs low for frequent outings. It’s an ideal all-rounder for local cruising, sandbar runs, and family adventures.
