rps Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 Had an Alumacraft for 6 years. Loved it. Only sold it when the wife insisted I upgrade to a wheel boat. Last year I bought a Lund Rebel XS 1650. Love it too.
Sore Thumbs Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 My buddy sells boats and from a resale standpoint BassTracker is the best. Even though those other boats might be better quality built he has trouble selling other brands. Lund is a great seller on deep V. dtrs5kprs 1
Royal Blue Posted January 31, 2017 Author Posted January 31, 2017 Doesn't Evinrude have something like a 10 year warranty right now? I can't see why that wouldn't make for a compelling reason to get a non-black motor... terryj1024 1
kjackson Posted January 31, 2017 Posted January 31, 2017 FWIW-- Ranger just added a bunch of deep-vee boats to their line. Some are still in the prototype stage as no photo is shown. If the new boats are built like pre-BPS hulls, then I've added another brand to look at this year.

I bought my Lund with an Evinrude at Cope in Branson West. Good experience and when I had a warranty issue, they fixed it quick for nothing. When service time comes I will follow the recommendations of this board and use Ulrich. Seems like a good combo to me. big c 1

If the time comes to sell a deep V Lund, Alumacraft, or Crestliner use the Walleye central message board. I had an excellent resale experience through there and their viewers are savy to the tin boats. Sore Thumbs 1
Ketchup Posted February 1, 2017 Posted February 1, 2017 That's a great site for anything water related RPS. TinBoats BassClub. An aluminum only bass club. If interested in info send me a PM.

I've been looking at 17-18 foot models and this may sound crazy, but I've been torn about looking at models with 40hp so I can hit Fellows Lake in addition to the others. I have several friends with nicer glass boats so I can always go with them, but my son is really getting into the outdoors and he's 11. We need our own ride. I just can't go buy a new glass boat with 3 kids and one almost in college. I used to have a 21 ft Cobra with a 200hp Yamaha. I just don't think I need something that crazy these days. I just ordered a Crestliner brochure. They've been on my radar too. My tracker had a 60 and it was a dog. Can't imagine a 40, and resale would suffer. I'm in ozark too. The way I look at it is it only takes 10-15 minutes longer to get to table rock than fellows
