Location: Bagley,MN 56621 | I get asked this question a lot, having both Crestliner (welded) and Lund (riveted) at the same facility.
My answer is usaully tastes great..less filling, ford...chevy.....
Both are rugged, both companies stand behind them, I would look at the layout of the boat for the way you fish, not the way it is constructed.
I've heard it all too between manufacturer reps:
planes are riveted, must be good........planes don't float
welded boat's floor screws will keep "unscrewing" due to less flex in the hull and a harder ride........riveted boat floors are riveted down..how do you know??
The battle will continue and we can debate it until we are blue in the face....bottomline, they both work, they both have had their issues. |
