Lookinforwalleye is boatless!!!

[lookinforwalleye]

The Alumacraft is gone to a new home purchased by a fellow OFC`er.

So now I can start the search in earnest for a new/used rig,looking for a 16-17 foot tiller may consider a side console.

Would prefer a newer rig less than 10 years old and a 4 stroke.

If any of the good membership knows of anything please let me know.

Deal, but only if I get to use it too

[Grimace]

See if you can find a Lund Alaskan used. I always liked them. I never owned one though.

[bassman]

It was a pleasure doing business with you buddy! I'll probably be sleeping in the boat tonight.

 

Cheers!!!

Don't think you could get a more ideal Walleye boat for medium water than that.

[lookinforwalleye]

You know as much as I would like to support the local economy it may be tough given whats available at the local dealerships.

I am finding that there is very little stock available and the prices are nothing to get excited about. The common theme is sorry sir we don`t have that model in stock but we can order it, well I know you can order it but I want to sit in it and I want to kick the tires.

I am expanding my search to included Michigan,N.Y,Ohio and IL, pricing is far better and there seems to be more variety and stock down south. I am somewhat concerned about the warranty issues and that may be the deciding factor whether I buy in the States or here.

 

Have a look at these two examples,

 

 

 

And to add a different style of boat,

 

 

The Lund is from upstate New York and I can get it for 11 grand it comes with a 25 4 str.

The Starcraft is from a local dealer I can get it for 12 grand it comes with the same 4 str.

The G3 is from the Chicago area and I can get this for 11,500 it comes with a 75 Yamaha 4 str. it is a 2007 new/old stock.

 

The Lund is a far better boat than the Starcraft for a grand less and the G3 is great deal.

So the search continues.

Yes nice boat that would fit the bill nicely only problem I can`t get a hold of the seller, perhaps it`s a bogus add!!

So what's your price range and size range specifically?

 

16 footers can range from 68" beams and 30hp rating to 90ish" and 75+hp!

 

If I were saying to hell with it, and buying what I thought would be the ultimate multi-purpose Walleye boat...I think I'd be looking loooooong and hard at a Lund Pro Guide 1725 Tiller. Front/Rear livewells, tons of rod storage for jigging/rigging/crankbait rods, and a nice open floor and big casting deck.

 

But then again...Alumacraft Navigators are pretty damn nice too :P

 

I just can't picture a Walleye boat with a 25 horse on it . I'm not into big motors, don't get me wrong, but width is important in a Walleye boat if you troll more than one rod...for that you need some horsepower. The Lund Rebel XL 1625 is nice too, but not even on the same plane as the Pro Guide.

have any family in manitoba you need to visit lol

[lookinforwalleye]

this is not bad new 2008 Lund 1750 outfitter with a 50hp 2 stroke, not crazy about the motor and no rod locker but the price is right! 12 grand or so.

[SRT8 smoker craft]

The Lund seems to be under powered if it is a 16 foot boat.I have a Lund and I am very satified with it.BTW go for the TILLER>

Out the door is 17000

[lookinforwalleye]

I have been talking to a couple of dealers in the States this weekend and they seem very eager to find me a boat,one guy said he has as many Canadian customers these days as American and they handle all the paper work.

I just have do the math to see to see what the savings(looks like they could be substantial)and of course find the time to drive down.

I must be blind as I cannot find the classified section here anymore? I thought I saw a really sweet Lund Explorer in there about a week ago for about $10 000.00. Looked like a great set up. It was the same boat I have and love.
