2017 Fury XL Transom

Hello to all, I am new to your forum and I hope someone will be able to answer this question. When did Lund change to composite transoms? I am buying a 2017 and have read here and other forums that the transom rots on some Lunds. I know this is not just a lund issue, just interested if I am looking at a potential issue down the line.
Thanks in advance for your timely responses

Shoot a PM over to @HotRunrGuy he will know.

I believe you are OK but I think HRG will know for sure.

Congrats on the boat.

In 2016, certain models had the composite transom (Prov bass) Also in 2016 , 20 Alaskans were available with composite as an option.
For 2017 ..additionally..all models Impact and above have wood free transoms.
For 2018 and forward… No wood in transoms throughout the Lund line up.

Its amazing that it took any boat company this long to figure out that wood as a component material was a bad idea.

I don’t think the 2017 Fury has a composite transom unfortunately. From the Lund FAQ page at:

http://www.lundboats.com/faqs/

About halfway down…

“WHAT MATERIAL IS USED IN LUND TRANSOMS?

In 2017, select models have a composite transom. In 2018, all transoms are made with a composite material (exception of the Renegade/jon boats/Predator have aluminum transoms).”

The 2017 Red Book lists the following models as having Composite Transoms:

I dropped a note to T-Mac, it looks like 2017 might be 1 year too early.

Thanks.. PS: Good seeing several familiar names here.

For what it’s worth, my 1989 Tyee transom was still rock solid when I sold it last year.
Composite – great – got it in my 2019 Impact for sure but the 89 Tyee-…. just sayin.
If you already have it I wouldn’t lose sleep over it.
If not, maybe try for a newer model if that’s important to you.
