| I struggled with the same decision. I bought a new 2000 Lund Rebel 1650SS in 2000. I repowered with a 50 HP E TEC this year. Fishability is excellent. The low sides make it easy to release Muskies and to figure eight. The boat is deep and handles rough water well, not the 4 footers that some talk about, but I feel it would handle them. I think if you found one of these, it would be perfect for you. The major disadvantage, is the lack of a full windshield. Lund is promoting a nice package now, called a REBEL, based on the CLASSIC series. You may want to look at that, it is available with a full windshield, but I think you would loose too much space. For the last eight years, I have launched a minimum of 100 times each year, the boat works! If you fish by yourself or with one other person , fine, three people , look at an Explorer. Good Luck!
