post what your looking for and you will get a great deal on an old 1198 if you want to go that big..be patient, they will be tripping over eachother trying to sell you their old unit. Wait for the best deal
Well, That's disappointing. Last time I had my Lund 1950 Tyee out I got 48 mph with 2 guys and gear with a 200hp Merc EFI . 19 pitch stainless steel prop. , just seems very slow to me and doesn't sound like he did anything to solve your problem..you should've went on the test ride with him, with 2 guys and gear your right back where you started. Like I said, I went through this with my Tracker and you need to go out with them and talk about it on the water ! Good Luck!
If you like to fish other lakes and species your going to regret getting rid of it. I have a 20' ft Lund and its great in the rough water, well as rough as I would want to fish in any boat. Think about it , you'll be tying yourself down unless you have buddies to fish elsewhere with on their boats. Good luck with whatever you decide, it's a nice boat.
I have a 20 ft Lund Tyee with a 200 merc on it...does 45 mph with 2 people and gear..no need for tabs, that motor needs to come down I'm thinking, then a 19 prop also. Funny they sell you a new boat and not have all this stuff dialed in ..must not sell a lot of them in that configuration or they would know exactly what to do with mounting and pitch. Congrats...looks like a great boat !
Sounds like motor deff. needs to go down 1 or 2 holes...this might not fix the problem though. I had this happen on my 19 ft tracker with a 150 on it...the hull was warped. Take the boat back to the dealer and have someone go for a test ride with you..tell them to fix it or keep it..don't mess around them..be polite , off coarse . When its fixed have them go back out for a test ride before you take it back.
