| Paul, sounds like a tough choice! Have you seen both boats in person? Both seem great to me, but the lund is much wider so Id bet my left arm the lund feels like a much larger boat. The video above is great, but in dead-calm conditions like that the lund will have just as nice a ride--we really needed to see that with a gnarly unpredictable "wind blowing against the current" chop to differentiate the hulls. I'd be shocked if the glass boat didnt have a much smoother ride, but...
Pulling to one side, as in the above post, without knowing the setup (diff props, hydraulic steering, etc will influence this) could easily be an engine thats too high--properly set up there should be a little pressure to one side but not excessive and lowering the engine should reduce the steering torque--this is SOP on a bass boat and I would imagine the tuffy is similar in that regard.
Id also be shocked if the Lund isn't much more stable to fish from. I think you mentioned you were going in on this with your dad, not sure his age and health so that could also be a consideration. The only other observation is that the tuffy appears to have eight or 9 inch high gunnels, well the Lund seems to have gunnels more like a true bass boat. If you do a lot of pitching this might be a consideration, otherwise might not matter one way or another. Looking forward to hearing what you end up with!
