I owned a 1989 model when I first bought it, it had a 40HP tiller on for one person fine but for two or three underpowered in my opinion. I put a 60 tiller on and it was better. I had to add a planning plate with two people getting up on plane in shallow water without it was not going to happen. Still my biggest gripe was in the wind and fishing alone with the high sides it was like running a big sail, boat control was horrible in my opinion. Did not like the wide gunwales took up to much room on the inside, and leaning over those wide gunnels and high sides to get fish out of the water was a pain. I know many people luv the Lunds there solid well built and that`s great but not for me.
