Research 2008 - Alumacraft Boats

~VS 170

Everything you need, nothing you don’t.

We took our time-tested, all-welded 17' aluminum hull and finished it up just for bass fishermen—without any unnecessary bells and whistles. The VS 170 is simply an honest, hard working boat, easy to maneuver, haul and launch, and it can sneak in and out of the tightest timber, feeder creeks and honey holes. There’s plenty of room, and you get excellent maneuverability and top end performance. Power it up with a quiet outboard and you’ve got just what you ordered.
