Thanks for the input guys, but no pontoon for me at this time. Not versatile enough to get in/out of some of the places I fish.

Thanks BigWerm, my thought was just as you suggested, buy it and sell it in a couple years if we want something else. The Lund name and the newer motors will definitely retain the value for the price I’m looking at, so if we don’t like it we can get something bigger or with a different layout.

You are correct, and I had temporarily forgotten about being a wetter ride. It shouldn’t be too bad with that forward console, but might splash the rear passengers.

Our kids are all 4 and under currently, so space won’t be a big issue for a few years yet. Mainly just want my wife to consider it a nice and comfortable ride so she isn’t hesitant to get out on the water when we have the chance.

I’m not sure the bimini would do me much good at the console, but would want to be able to get the kids out of the sun for awhile if needed.
