| So I just bought a home near my father, and we have decided to buy a boat together. We want a big deep V so we can take it north into Canada/great lakes/ Mille Lacs and LOTW in the fall. This will be our main fishing platform for the next 10 to 15 years.
Here are some of the specs we have been mulling over.
Electronics.
Minn kota Terrova 36 volt 101lbs thrust Ipilot 7 inch HD screens front and back with the Ilink side image and down scan.
This whole unit looks great from a new guy perspective?
Boats
Lund 1800 TYEE with 115 hp Merc
Alumacraft Trophy 195 200 hp Evinrude Etec OR Yamaha 200 HP 4 stroke
So from the boat perspective We can get the trophy with the larger motor and about the same options for about 4k to 6k less on the price tag. The TYEE is at MAX budget with a 115.
Both look like great boats. Is the lund going to be so much better then the alumacraft its worth the smaller motor and the bigger sticker?
I have only seen the Lund in person, We have yet to drive to the nearest dealer with a Trophy in the showroom for us to climb around in. Should have time to do that in the next couple weeks.
MOTORS (If we go alumacraft)
200 HP Evinrude ETEC. I REALLY like the self winterize feature. I would like to be about to fish until I cant put it in the lake.
200 HP Yamaha, Everything says this motor is bulletproof and lasts forever, A leader in the 200 HP category.
Anyone with personal experience with one or both of these motors?
ANY 2 cents would be great.
THANKS A BUNDLE FOR YOUR TIME AND ANY HELP!
I would have put this in the LUND forum but I thought I might get a more even discussion on this one.
