U hit the nail on the head, I can cruise at 45mph. I had the boat on the water and am very happy with the performance. The 90 opti has only 76 hrs on it.
Thanks for your advise.

Dang nice ride! Good find.
Looks like you found a good one! Good luck and good fishing.
I too had just purchased a 1992 Lund tyee2. it came with a Johnson 70hp motor. Doesn’t seem like much power, but, it looks brand new and came with a Honda 8hp trolling motor. used it 4x last year, everything works like new. also came with a Bimini top and all the sides to enclose it during rainy days. A Lowrance fish finder, 4 mounted rod holders. and other extras. All for $4500. My Brother-in-law told me a boat like this goes for 16k in Alaska.(they have a cabin in Anchorage)
I had an 89 Tyee 16 foot with a 100 hp Mercury 2 stroke, ran great and NOT underpowered.
Boat was a rockstar. Tight as a drum after all those years, even on big, choppy lakes. Unless you need to get somewhere at 50 mph this should work fine on a 17′
IMHO
Just looked at the picture – same as mine but newer.
Really nice set up for you and for the money.
I have a custom made top just folded up sitting in my basement for the last 18 months.
Made for this boat plus covers the motor. Paid $600 new
Make me an offer if you are interested. All the tie downs come with it.

I had an 89 with a 90 and 15 kicker… the day I sold it I regretted it. I still have not owned a boat that gave me as much joy as that old Tyee did.
Solid boats, bought mine in 2018 – was 1 owner too. Looks like the same guy took care of both of these
