Urteil
A compact 17-foot open boat with a practical coastal layout, the Poseidon Blu Water 170 suits day trips, short coastal runs and family use. It is not a cabin cruiser, so comfort and storage are limited, but its moderate weight, 20° deadrise and 7-person rating make it versatile for its size.
Vorteile
- +Compact center-console layout maximizes usable deck space
- +7-person capacity is strong for a 17-foot boat
- +20° deadrise should help it ride better than flatter-hulled small boats
- +30–80 hp engine range gives flexible setup options
Nachteile
- −No cabins and limited shelter for overnight use
- −Small overall size limits storage and onboard amenities
- −Best suited to day boating rather than long-range cruising
- −Comfort will depend heavily on weather and engine choice
The Poseidon Blu Water 170 is a small fiberglass center-console boat built around simple, functional day-boating. Publicly listed specifications put it at about 5.0–5.1 m long and 2.17 m wide, with a C coastal rating and seating for seven, which makes it a sensible choice for nearshore family use or hire fleets.
On the water, the 20° deadrise and outboard range of roughly 30–80 hp suggest a boat aimed at balanced, moderate-performance cruising rather than high-speed thrills. The hull form should be capable enough for coastal chop for its size, but ride quality will still depend on load, sea state and engine selection.
Comfort and livability are basic. There are no cabins, so this is an open-deck boat for day trips only, with limited protection from sun and spray unless fitted with accessories such as a bimini. That said, the layout is efficient for fishing, swimming and short passenger outings.
In value terms, the Blu Water 170 looks competitive for buyers who want a straightforward, trailerable coastal boat with room for a small group. It is best judged as a practical utility boat rather than a premium leisure cruiser, and expectations should match its compact size and simple specification.
