The G1 was also an option for me but I figured with the new model it would have a better resale value if I ever needed to sell it than a model that's been in existence for 15+ years already. Both motors actually now have a 10yr warrantee also or a 6yr warrantee+free controls...I opted for the 6yr as the gauges and controls for the G2 were just over $3000 but like I said above...it was still actually cheaper than the same boat with the 150 four stroke Merc. Now just the long wait for delivery in aprox 8 weeks

We were at the show last Sunday and sat in every aluminum 18-20' boat there but loved the Lund the best but I did not want a Merc. Got a price for the boat from one of the dealers in the Lund booth with no motor and no controls which was to much money (I am positive they included were including their cut for the non existant motor but this may have been a Lund thing and not the dealer!) I then priced an Evinrude for "re power" but the price was also crazy and the boat was coming in at over 10k more than the boat with the 175 Verado!!! I came home, pissed off I couldn't get what I wanted so I did a quick google search figuring that if I can find a marina that sells both Lunds and Evinrudes we may have better luck! A quick search and www.bay-marine.com/lund.htm showed up and right there it said they have special packages on lund's/Evinrudes!!! I called them up and talked to someone and was asked if I could have someone else call me in 10 minutes. Got a phone call in less than 10mins from a salesman from the show (was actually working in the lund booth) and he hooked me up! and the best part was the price like I said was cheaper than the 150merc!!! Anyone interested in the salesman's name just send me a PM! And yes...I can't wait till spring Ryan

Just actually ordered a Lund Crossover 1875 this week at the show at the Lund booth and its being outfitted with a 150H0 Evinrude G2!!! The price with controls and the whole 9 yards was actually cheaper than the price of the 150merc and 5k less than the 175 Verado (the 150HO will be very similar power wise). We looked at all the brands there and went in with an open mind (Other than not wanting a merc!) and after my wife and kids sitting in every brand there...the Crossover was the one for us with out a doubt! Now just have to patiently wait the 8-10 weeks until it comes in!

thanks guys...this is what I am looking for...just places to go and launch from and now real details other than for saftey reasons like the one shoal talked about above. So these smallies in the big lake are deep compared to long point huh. Crank baits and Jigs I guess. We have great luck at long point with Tube Jigs but this might need something else!!! Thanks again...Ryan

I heard that in the past but figured this is Lake Erie and all I am looking for names of places that I can launch at. I am fairly decent at finding the fish my self but just need some ideas on mainly where to launch out of and where I may have a decent chance at something. thanks again...RyanB

Hey All...new to the forum (posting wise) but I have been crusing the pages for a while and thought I better register. Anyway, I am from Kitchener/Waterloo and usually fish for bass down at Long Point (usually launch out of Old Cut) but am looking for a change and would like to get into more open water or water/rock piles and stuff. I am interested in anything east of long point up to the mouth of the river. I have a 17.5' Lund/130 honda so its not a big deal to have to run a while or be out in the ruff stuff. Any one have any ideas or details on where to go? Thanks in advance...Just wanting to spice things up a bit here!
