I am trying to renovate my 17' d/c but cannot find any infomatio on any web site of a 17' day cruiser if any one can help please email me

Dear Tim.

This hull is originally designed as the Draco DayCab (DC)2000 Sportling (also in Hardtop version HT)by reknown Norwegian Naval Architect Jan Herman Linge (also designed Olympic Sailors Soling and Yngling). Draco reduced all mesures by 15 % and introduced its Draco 1700 DayCab (DC - with a tiny cabin) and 1700 Topless. Draco did not have permission to redesign the baot, so Linge sued Draco... The latter daycruiser was also given the Coronet badge and sold by Coronet as the 17 Runabout. (It may be that it was also manufactured by Coronet - I am not certain). So you should lokk for Draco 17(00) topless or Coronet 17 Runabout. They are identical twins.
