Very nice....
-
I am aware this may be a difficult time for some but I would consider a fishing trip in the near future if there was any boats up and running.Are there any boats fishing at this time? Any recommendations of who to call on short notice? I live about 12 hrs away and could fish anytime the weather permits Friday-Mondays.

Caught this one last year in July, it was 14 lbs an he did mount it as the fish was spent after an awesome air show it gave us. Love it when they do that.

OMG...... I have caught many 100" blue finn tuna but that is a fish of my dreams.

18 Pro-V with extended transom below. About same hull length as the 20 sportsman but wider, a little deeper, thicker hill etc. Worth a look.
Depending on budget the 19' Searunner is also one to consider.
Yes, between this 18 and a 19'. Rigged right I could fish salmon in a 3,000 acre lake here in Maine or stripers on the coast and the occasional blue finn tuna trip out to 12 miles.

I bought a new Hewescraft SR220 (HC after this) from a dealer in Illinois in 2011 (Calumet Marine, who is no longer a dealer), after owning 2 different Lunds, a 16 ft side console, & a 20' Newport CC, loved them both, but they are without a doubt not in the same league as my HC. I have had zero issues with the HC. HC's make up a large portion of boats under 30' registered in Alaska' for the simple reason that they are bullet proof. Hull material is significantly thicker, & the welding is a thing of beauty for sure. You pay for what you get in this case.
Best of luck with your decision!
JohnThanks. Check out the two options I called about above. The North River is older 2005 but only 120 hrs on the Yamaha

You should look at the west coast style boats.
Hewescraft, Northriver, Kingfisher, Thunderjet, Weldcraft are a few.
Typically all heavy gauge welded boats with no plastic, no cheapness. Utilitarian in style but well thought out and build to last

You talked me into it. These look like two options that would also be better boats in salt water. Notice the North River is a 2005 but its 96" wide vs the 2019 Hewes Craft at 86"

What are some other Brands that build aluminum boats that are as good or better then Lund? For fishing only

Crestliner makes a similar style boat to the sport angler, they call theirs the Authority. Not sure if it's any easier to get Yamahas on a crestliner but just fyi. Sport Angler was on my short list if I stayed with aluminum.
How do the Crestliners hold up compared to the Lunds? And is Lund still building the same qulity they were prior to being bought out by Brunswick? You know how things go. Normally when a company is bought out quality deteriorates.

If that 150 is their 4-stroke its a great engine. Its one of the USA engines built in Wisconsin. I have one with on the small boat with 300+ hours not one issue ever.
That 9.9 Kicker is built in partnership Tohatsu in China with all their other engines 30HP & under.
Merc Mid engines 40-75hp are built in a different Chinese factory.
It will be nearly impossible to find a newer Lund with a Yamaha on it.
I have had probably a dozen boats with outboards over the years all Merc's except one with an Evinrude.
Only ever had a problem with one. It was one of the early 50hp 4 strokes. Blew it up with 10 hours on it. Funny thing is that the mid engine four stroke Mercurys back then were built in a partnership with Yamaha. That was over 20 years ago though.
All that said Yamaha builds great engines. I honestly think you can go wrong with either.
Something to consider is service. If you have a good reliable repair shop near you that services one brand and not the other it should be taken into consideration.
Yes sir, I have a great relationship with the local Yamaha dealer. As a commercial fisherman that travels the cost of New England I see more Yamahas then all others combined.

Go to a dealer that sells Lund and tell them you want a Yamaha. They can make it happen. You might not get the best price though.
My friend bought one that had a Merc already mounted and he told them he wanted a Yamaha....and they made it happen. With respect to electric motors, you will need at least a 60 inch shaft.
I havent found one yet that will. I have spoken to 3 Lund dealers in Maine and one in NH

Thanks all for the replys.
This is where I am at. I have been looking around for a 2019-2020 Sport Angler with out a motor so far I have not found one. So I thought I would order one and wait the 6-8 weeks. There is a dealer in Hookset New Hamshire with several 2019s with Merc 150hp and a 9.9 kicker for $42,000. So I asked how much for one without any motors. He called me back and said $35,600. We talked for awhile but these numbers just dont make since. See Brunswick Marine ownes Merc and Lund boats so they push hard for the complete package. I know two people on the lake I live on that had issues with their Merc's less then 2 years old that the company would not go good for.
If any of you know of a dealer with a 1800-2000 Sport Angler with out motors let me know. Or a good used one.

Looks like a fall fish to me. Or at least like the many I have seen in the past.

So I was just wondering how big some of the atlantics are that have been landed on lake O.

I am getting a Lund 1800 Sport Angler with a 150 Yamaha. I have a Garmin Echomap Ultra ordered. I was going to buy the Garmin trolling motor and use that as a pilot. Is there a better option?
-
Thanks. I think my only option is to order a new boat with out a motor 6-8 weeks out.

I am seriously considering buying a 2019 Lund Sport Angler in the next two weeks. I am somewhat disappointed I cant find one (a 2019/2020) without a motor as the only options seem to be Merc. My preference hands down would be Yamaha. So, I am a avid troller and was wondering if some of you could suggest a trolling motor/fish finder combo that has a bottom building option. As a commercial fisherman from Maine I have used the Max Sea and Time Zero for going on 20 years so I thought this would be a great option for trolling. I have been looking at the Garmin Ultra and the Garmin trolling motors. Seems like this may work well but I am not sure the Garmin trolling motor has a long enough shaft. Some times I troll live and sewn bait so .9 to 1.1 is the target speed. So for trolling and using the trolling motor to steer the boat while using the kicker to push the boat what are some good options?
