Lund sounds like the better deal.

Pinpoint is great when it works, but it’s a ticking time bomb. And when it breaks, you’re buying a new trolling motor.

Two votes for the Lund. That said, it might not be a terrible idea to keep looking for other boats in your price range.

If they are all in your price range then you need to decide which layout best suits the way you fish. Remember each trolling motor or locater will cost you roughly 500 each to add or replace.

Welcome to the brotherhood….Lund all the way. My advice…if it is for sure what you want…act fast. If not, wait until you find the one you want. The reason I say act fast is that I was beat to the punch four times before I actually got to go look at a boat. Springtime is a hot time on boats. Good luck, whichever you decide.

Take the newer and seldom used Lund.

I do like that dugout but I am really looking for a 4 stroke motor.

No Problem, Just trying to sell so I can get the other boat in the garage. This is killing me. Especially with the warm weather and the river opening up!

Hey Doug what Brand is the ruler you have in your boat and how long is it?

Another Lund vote.

wow – the lund ended up selling for $6,000. Bad time to buy a boat when Spring Fever is on the way. To me that seems a little high without a trolling motor or batteries. I guess I will keep searching.
