    Mike,

    You hit the nail on the head. I am looking for a console that is why I chose those two models. Plus, I am limited to how much space I can store the boat. So, the largest I can go is 16’9″ of boat and motor. This obviously does’nt include the trailer. I am trying to get the best boat I can with the limited storage I have.

    The most frustrating part is lack of communication via email or phone call from either dealership. Neither one has follwed up to an answer to a question I have. Or just even to check in. Seems poor to me!

    After doing more research before reading then last couple of comments it appears that doing a package deal only benefits the dealer. It maybe the easier way. However, I can hook up all the electronics etc.

    Dave,

    Thanks for the advice. I will stick to my ground. Yes, the price continues to rise on the boat. Time will tell if I continue or hold off a bit longer.

    Thanks for all the comments. I am convinced that I need to max out the HP. Neither dealer mentioned upgrading the motor size on either boat. One had a 60 hp the other 70 hp. Both boats displayed in showroom. One 2016 Lund, one 2015 Alumacraft.

    I agree. The rod holders in the 2016 Rebel 1650 XS does get in the way. I am 6’2 and kept hitting the left edge. In addition, the square footage is done for walkable/moveable space. And the 1750 won’t fit do to storage restraints. Looked at the Classic and the price difference was not much difference from the Competitor.

    Thanks for the advice

    Thanks for the reply. You couldn’t be more correct. I currently have an Alumacraft V14 that has given me great years of service in different bodies of water. Looking to upgrade for more comfort, convenience, features and most important I am limited on space for storage.

    You are correct. Both dealers been more than gracious with their time. They both have expressed the pros and cons.
