Minnow Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Hey guys just went to the boat show with my dad and saw the new Lund Fiberglass Lineup and was IMPRESSED! They have the 186 Tyee and Fishermen and then a 206 GL PRO V I beleive and they are nice looking boats! The 206 big model is loaded with gear! 300 HP Merc Verado! 9.9 Kicker, Minn Kota Reverse and Drift Troller on the back never even seen one before, Minn Kota Terrova 101 motor on the front, Lowarance GPS LMS on the front and a Lowrance LCX on the Console! All this for $59,999! Expensive but would you say this is a top of the line Multi-species boat and would you guys recommend a LUND boat? They are brand new on the market and was just wondering what you guys think of them or if you have any insider info on them? Thanks! This the 186 Tyee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 If you decide to buy one, make sure you get the riveted fiberglass rather than the welded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) LOL Dan. Are you sure you want to start this? I will reserve my right not to answer this question on this boat until 2 or 3 years from now. Edited January 14, 2008 by Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeontroller Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'm more of a fan of Aluminum fishing boats. If I were interested in a Fiberglass fishing boat I would seriously consider the Ranger 620 VS. I doubt the Lund fiberglass came out of a Lund factory, I would look into who's building them...Might even be Ranger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 well it looks fine and I like lund boats but they are new, so ask me again in 5 or so years and I will give you a good answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishdawg Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 correct me if I am wrong, isnt Lund & Ranger both under the same "company umbrella"? Or at least they used to be? Genmar i believe was the name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) If you decide to buy one, make sure you get the riveted fiberglass rather than the welded. Do a search... over the last 2 years we've discussed this move by Lund a few times. I left glass for a reason and stand by my old arguement that Lund should stay with what they know, and let the many other companies under the Brunswick umbrella build the glass boats.

John Bacon Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 correct me if I am wrong, isnt Lund & Ranger both under the same "company umbrella"? Or at least they used to be? Genmar i believe was the name... Used to be is the correct answer. Genmar sold their Aluminum boat line to Brunswick Co. (owners of Mercury Marine). Lund, Crestliner, and Lowe/Sea Nymth were included in the sale. Princecraft was already owned by Brunswick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlied Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 $60,000 is alot of money man. I would go to another boat and then you have money left over for a truck to pull it...LOL. Lund is way over priced!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) $60,000 is alot of money man. I would go to another boat and then you have money left over for a truck to pull it...LOL. Lund is way over priced!! Apples to Apples Lund is no more expense than any of the others. Compare equal models of boats from Lund, Princecraft, Crestliner and you'll see that. The 300 Verado is the first 30 grand...9.9 pro kicker $4700..LCX and bow mount FF another $2800..trolling motor $1000...leaving about $21k for the boat itself. I can say that Ford is more expensive than GM as well....when I want a Malibou and you want an F350 Diesel.

largemouth Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I'll wait to hear some reviews on the glass lund this summer before commentingon their perormance etc.. But have always found Lund to be a good vessel , much like a nike shoe, good shoe but you pay for the name. But you will always pay extra for a name. Funny thing is my old lunker $2000.00 boat has had a lot more fish put in it than a lot of expensive fancy lunds out there. driving a Ferrari doesn't make you a better driver than the guy in the Chevy, no matter how much extra you pay for the vehicle.
