Subject: RE: big water boats (alum v glass)

For what it's worth, Lund's 2025 isn't comparable to a Tundra. I have owned a Tundra for two years and I can honestly say that it rides more like glass than aluminum. I have spent time in (but never owned) Ranger 619's and 620's, and the Tundra is right there with them in terms of its ability to handle big water. But the lighter weight of the Tundra gives it an edge in handling and performance. It's a great boat.

As for "standard" aluminum boats (like the 2025) vs. Tundra/glass, I believe there is no contest. I'm convinced that Lund sells the 2025 because people have it in their heads that aluminum is more durable despite evidence to the contrary. I know there is disagreement on that point, but I've blown by big Lunds in rough weather on Mille Lacs in my Tundra more times than I can count. Lunds "slap" the waves, while my Tundra "wooshes" through along with the glass boats.Tim
