Well for better or worse 2 boats for 1

Traded my G3 and Lund in today on a new 2021 Lund Fury 16 foot tiller 25 hp mercury tilt and trim. I hope I don’t regret selling my Yamahas. I just like the layout better and its easier to deal with 1 boat rather than 2. The G3 was nice but the most wet riding boat I ever owned. I also got a new trolling motor with spot lock I think I will love it. Anyone else have a boat similar to this? I hurt my back this year and the tilt and trim is what I really need.

I went from a 20′ triton bass boat to a 17.5 alumacraft tiller, for me it was the right choice.

I went the opposite way 3 years ago I sold my 1700 pro v tiller and bought a use triton 202 last year I bought a small light 14 foot boat with an 8 horse to fish some lakes I used to get my 17 in that there is no way to get the triton in. I miss the 17 footer for fishing as it was a tiller but the 202 is great for big water and the family stuff

Congrats! I’m sure you’ll love it. Not much better than a new boat!

but, is it a big enough boat to put all your tackle in.

Congrats on the new boat! Sounds like some great upgrades you will really like. Tilt and trim, can’t live without now. Spot lock you will love also and another thing I can’t imagine being without now.

Nice! Congrats on the new ride.

You should post photos of the new rig. I bet you really got the itch for open water now.

Not the best, but here are a few.

hope to pickup next friday. Glenn57 I was giggling while signing papers. That was the first thing I was thinking about. I knew I would get ribbed about it. Thankfully it was another one of my wife’s ideas.

Congrats! Nice boat.

Glad you stuck with a tiller. Nothing worse then these guys who steer on the wrong side of a vehicle

Mr Pike1973, I can’t wait to see your reaction to the first carpet slime and dock rash it gets.

HEY!
I resemble that remark!

Nice boat reminds me of my Lund classic. Was very fisherman friendly. Congratulations.

Nice boat Mrpike!! I wanna go for a ride in it !!

Nice boat. Enjoy and congrats.

Thanks for the complements all I just wanted a very basic but functional boat but yes tiller all the way!!

Best part is who cares about these guys and there compliments. You have a boat that works for you. Thats the importance.

Looks sharp and a really nice sized boat. Roomy but not a huge pain in the butt size either.

Perfect boat for you & the wife. Congrats!!

Thought you had a V177? Are those wet boats?

Congrats on new rig, looks super nice.

Nice. You’re going to like that maneuverability and love the spot lock. I have an older 16’ Lund tiller with a little but newer 50 Merc and isle that over my 17’ 90 hp Bayliner (insert jabs here) I got rid of some time ago. I will say my Lund rides pretty wet but yours is 25 years newer technology.

Mr. Beads it was a outfitter 150 a bathtub is less wet. Cant wait to try that spot lock thanks for the complements all cant wait to get it.

Or are the tiller guys considered a “backseat driver?
