Is that the stick steer model or the bass boat style with lowered decks?
Anyone on the forum have this model boat? Would like to hear opinions.
Thanks, Jimmy

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.

Good looking boat... I like the vinyl option too.

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.
