[QUOTE]The only thing I'd offer up is the consideration of buying a brand new boat.  Brand new in design, materials and construction.  Are there bugs to be worked out?  And the best come back to that would be, "it's a Lund," so it should be good to go.  But that'd be my only hesitation in buying from a brand new line like that.[/QUOTE]
the Lund GL isn't really "new" in the sense that you're describing.
Lund is part of the Brunswick family, which also owns well-regarded fiberglass boat brands such as Triton and Trophy. as a result, they have plenty of good fiberglass-building experience in house.
the Lund GL line has also been out for a few years now, so not really new in that sense either; there's enough of them running around for people to have experienced how well they run and fish.

as is true for many Lunds, it has a spacious cockpit - long and very wide at 98" of beam. obviously that means reduced front-deck size compared to bass-style boats. on their website, the Lund 186 GL is priced at $29,995 with a 150hp motor. i've been in a few and they are impressive rigs...if you fish wet-sock walleyes! ;-)
