Location: Mayville, WI | All brands make a good boat and difference between welded & rivet is personal preference - look for one that fits your need and a layout you like. When looking, I thought Lund was a bit overpriced, though very nice, downfall being that they didn't make a deck that was the same level around the entire boat and they don't make the Predator anymore. A great layout was the Crestliner CMV - wish they still made those, overall Crestliners do sit a bit higher in the water
If I were looking now:
Alumacraft - Competitor
Lund - Pro Guide (come in tillers only)
Crestliner - Pro Tiller or Fish Hawk (Raptor nice, but sides are higher than the Fish Hawk)
Currently, I run an Alumacraft Navigator & next boat will likely be another Alumacraft Tiller - the Competitor 185 is a nice ride - very happy with my purchase. |
