LUND all the way. I've had 3 Alumacrafts before this Lund. I traded a Magnum165 for an 1600 Explorer. Everything is better with the Lund. Couldn't get any prop to perform the way I thought it should. The Mag porpoised like mad and could never be totally fixed. You had to fix it yourself by bending the very end of the hull down by the transom with a hammer and a chisel.. I think you shouldn't have to do that with any new boat. I don't know if they ever fixed the problem. My Explorer handles and rides infinately better. Don't make the mistake of thinking their ips hulls are a gimmick.

I believe the Pro Guide is rated for a 75 and probably the Nav too. Get a 75 . You will regret being under powered.
