I am looking at the same two tin boats and have read the reports about the cracks. I have talked to 3 Ranger dealers that say they know of no issues but I did have one Ranger dealer who also sells Lund try to get me into the ProV. The Pvo V Bass is on a proven hull and the storage and layout is awesome but is a bit more than I need in as far as length(I fish alone) and cost But I am leaning towards the Lund because if I spend that kind of money I don't want any doubt or issues. I have no doubt with the name Ranger on the hull any issues would be promptly addressed but I live in the Eastern U.P and any dealer I choose will be hours away. My current boat is a Smokercraft with rivets and never had any problems.
If I go glass it will be the Tuffy 1760.
