boat
I would go with the lund. It is one of the better built boats out there. Great part is lots of room to move around on it.

Boats
I went from a 18' Starcraft super-fisherman to a 25' Sportcraft to a 195 Starcraft fishmaster with a 125 Merc. I've always looked at Lund boats but could'nt see the $3000.00 dif. in price. The new one does it all for Me trolling the big lake or Handlining the river.
Good Fishing
