I heard yesterday at the Minnesota state fair that Crestliner & Lund operations in Minnesota are shuting done & moving to the Triton plant were ever that is. 
If this is true Brunswick is going to wreck two very good company’s just to try to make those crappy Triton boats better. 
I guess my next boat will be an Almuacraft.
You get upset off of rumors, then you start bashing other peoples boats. That is real smart. You probaly never owned a Triton. I have owned Crestliner, Lund, Ranger and I now own a Triton. I am the happiest with my Triton and that is the truth.
I started visiting this site, because there is no bashing, but I geuss it is all the same. Different site… same people.
I think he was kidding. If not…….It’s his opinion. Don’t judge the site on a few. My $.02
I agree.

Is it true about Crestliner & Lund
Anyone know any facts about this or is it just a rumor?

I know the guy that works for the design team at Triton that is designing their aluminum boats right now. His name is Charlie Nelson and he worked for Crestliner for over 20 years. He designed boats for Crestliner and made them what they are today. He has been working with Triton for a few years now and has designed probaly the best boat Triton has ever made. If money wasn’t an object I would have bought a Triton in a heartbeat after talking with Charlie about what he has done for those boats. He basically took everything that he wanted to do with Crestliner that they wouldn’t let him and put that into the Triton. As for Brunswick I hate to give them any business but when somebody has what you want their is nothing you can do. I own a Crestliner and love it, but the Triton will be my next.
I really like the looks of this rig. 
I saw some at the Ducks Unlimited Festival in Oshkosh. My favorites are Crestliner and Lund, but my advisor kid tells me the Triton Boats are great. I am headed back to Oshkosh tomorrow and will take a longer look at them.
Triton does make a very nice boat. At least that’s MY opinion… 
Yes I was kidding, but what worry’s me is the possible loss of jobs in the northwest & northcentral Minnesota if the plants close. What the salesman told me is Brunswick is making the Lunds & Crestliners on the same lines in there other plants & slowing it down in the real Lund & Crestliner plants. That’s what my problem is.
Hey guys I live 15 minutes away from the Lund plant and know some people that work their and have heard nothing about them moving the plant. I do have good knowledge that they will follow Triton and switch to Mercury engines only hanging on their transom’s coming from the factory. Their is good and bad things about this. The good is the motor is factory installed, the bad is it limits the buyer to one engine brand. I for one am very happy with Yamaha. Evinrude is going to take a hit on this too they will loose sales from Crestliner and Lund. It is going to be interesting to see how this folds out in the future. Time will tell,until then just hope things work out to keep the people buying these boats happy.

Blah look where the driver sits, is that a real seat??? I’d like a real seat if I was driving my new expensive boat. The boat looks nice the driver’s seat is stupid. To me it’s pretty imposrtant where I sit.
After looking at the website, I’d guess it’s a photo of their prototype.
Look at the seat layout too.
There is no way Triton would start production on a tiller boat with the seating like that.

Between the hijinx Brunswick is pulling with Lund/Crestliner/Mercury and the opinion I’ve always had about the way Lumpacrap builds boats, My choice for the “premier aluminum fishing boat” would now be LAKE ASSAULT
