    Is that the stick steer model or the bass boat style with lowered decks?

    I've got one I fish from every weekend.70 hp pushes the thing really well.Good stable boat.The only thing I've noticed with the boat is I do alot of drift fishing and trolling and it don't take very much of a breeze to push the boat around some.I guess that's because of the way the bottom is made.Not much of a V.But I like it. Mine also has the 19 gallon livewell in it you can get a pretty good size catfish in it.

    CrappieJunkie does it handle rough water ok? The sides look a little low to me from the pictures i have seen...haven't seen the boat in person yet. My closest dealership is about 75 miles away.

    I have a G3 Eagle 185 with a 115 four stroke Yamaha on it and I love it. It handles rough water just fine. The Eagle 175 is just like it only shorter. The Eagle 185 is 18 and a half ft. long.
    I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

    I have had mine for about 4 years and like it. About 30 mph at half throttle with the 60hp 4 stroke. I really really like the Yamaha 4 stroke, easy start and so quite and smooth. I don't use much gasoline, about 2 or 3 gallons on a day when I travel a lot.
    Tough in the wind. The big gripe is no storage. I like the minnow bucket container with the livewell pump. No dying or dead minnows. Also the front live well is nice.

    I had one before I got my Lund. Can't say too much really bad, but my wife didn't like how much it moves when people move around in it. I wouldn't want to get into water I would in this Lund for sure. I sold it and bought the Lund after having it for one year. Like you said the sides are a bit low.

    Each of us has different ideas about what we want in a boat and I kind of wanted it all so when with the Lund Crappie Edition that has 3 places to choose from in the front so if you want 2 side by side you can.

    Both are about the same length, but the Lund has a lot more room and storage room as well.
