I’m considering purchasing a new Lund Explorer 1700 SS and am debating between the Suzuki 115 four stroke or Yamaha 115 four stroke. I’ve heard great things about both but am having a hard time deciding which I should try to find. Finding one with a Suzuki seems like it might be harder than finding one with a Yamaha but I’ve just starting looking. I know Yamahas are nice but those Suzukis (or Johnson four strokes) sure seem really nice when they come by. I plan to put on the Yamaha T8 kicker so the Yamaha would be color coordinated.
Also, does anybody have any good leads on a good dealer that would have such a rig? I checked into Nelson in White Bear Lake but they didn’t have any. Hannay’s had one but it had the vinyl floor and I want a carpeted floor. I’d go with a used rig but I’ve been looking for a while and haven’t seen any listed anywhere.
It’s my understanding that all the 2006 Lund Explorer 1700s come pre rigged with Mercury controls but some dealers will swap them out if you want another brand of motor.
Thanks for the help,
Boone
