Thinking about buying my first boat! Opinions??

Of course you will, there are a whole lot more of them out there. My Merc 150 was over 30 years old when I traded it. It had never had a major problem either.

Not here and every time I see FLW or BassMasters the ones with troubleare Mercs. But no sweet the mech. got to have a job.

to many on the market to think about buying and starting to redo anything . if it's that new either it was abused or a dud to begin with . run away ! jmo . ps . look for something with " no wood " .

I have a 4 stroke Merc and so far have had no trouble and actually it's my 2nd one and no real trouble with either of them. One was a 200 from 1996 and the 115 I have now is a 2007, I think, not sure my memory is right on that, but close.

All I will say about boats is if you go to Alaska every guide up there has a Lund. I haver a Lund and had to go over 200 miles to get to a dealer in Dallas to get it. I wouldn't trade it for anything else. I got away from Bass boats that I have had most of my life chasing bass, but once I went full time crappie I started going through boats and only got happy when I got this Lund! I know ones like I have cost a lot, but very fine boat and design is second to none. Just my 2 cents!
