Hi Bill,
Most definitely AMEL 54017.
Have been reading your posts for the past year. Very helpful even though you have a SM.
When are you going to get a 54?
I consider the 54 to be the ultimate. Can not believe how fortunate we were to find AMEL. Looked at so many sloops. This is made like a tank with every detail thought out. I am hands on and know what I am looking at, hope the factory employees don't change too much from Henri Amel's concepts.
Keep the good posts coming. Maybe will meet up some time.
Best Regards

Barry and Penny Connor

Barry,

I thought 54 #17 was a different Amel 54.

I know nothing about your boat. 

Continue to have fun!
