| Both boats around 45 K OTD per my quotes. All options are the same except Triton has 175 Suzuki and Lund has 150 Merc 4 stroke. Same electronics,troller and kickers. I don't think anyone has Pro v Bass yet? One Glass one Aluminum.Thoughts and any owners imput appreciated.
Thanks,'

Location: Tinley Park, IL | I read on a bass site that at a Minneapolis show the Pro V Bass with a 150 4-stroke moderately equipped was 32K and was 36K with the 200 HP. Granted, that doesn't include the kicker. It had a pretty good review. I can send you the link if you want it.
You've probably read my posts as I am deciding between the X190 and the Lund. I am leaning fiberglass for better boat control and a better ride. From the looks of it, the Lund will have a bigger front deck. The Triton is nearly 500 lbs heavier. Big fan of both of those motors.

| Hey Paul ,with 2 graphs,kicker you,ll be OTD at 45K . Tuffy X -190 with same amenities is more like 50 K I believe? I like the layout of the Lund but could it possible ride close to glass?

Location: London, England | The Lund is a lot wider, so I imagine it would be more stable. I would think the Tuffy would cut through the waves better being narrower and glass. Storage on the lund looks much better and you'd think the Tuffy would be easier to control in the wind. Pretty close either way. |

I'm not sure. I have only run a tin boat. I am basing my opinion on the numerous posts from guys who have had tin boats and glass boats. Nearly all of them say that the glass gives a better ride. The Lund shouldn't blow around as much as your big deep Vs with full windshields simply because it doesn't have as much boat sitting above the water. But tin bassboat guys who came from glass bassboats say they get pushed in the wind more in the tin even though they have comparable profile boats.
With a Terrova or Xi5 and a Talon, boat control becomes much easier regardless whether you have tin or glass. My Talon helped so much last year. Good luck with your purchase. Let us know what you get.

| Aluminum boats are limited on how they can build them glass boats can be constructed with constant curvature to slice and deflect the spray back down. I have owned and operated glass boats being two warriors, one 177 dc a 2090 side console and a nitro z8 bass boat, I have ran 30ish mph in a true 2.5' wave and been dry till you make a wrong move then minor spray would cross over the aft of the boats. I know the Warriors drift perpendicular to the wind better than the z8 but the z8 doesn't need drift socks when the wind is blowing. I have ran 50mph in comfort in the 2090 in a true 2.5' wave dry ride and all straight into or with the wind I haven't had the chance in the z8 yet since it wasn't broke in on the madden voyage when I went playing in the rough stuff. The bass boat seams to pound a bit harder than the sharp warriors but, nothing compared to 19.5' alumAcraft or 18.5 crestliners. Have ran both of the boats on the trolling motor and they definitely spin around much more. Have ran 45 in a true 2.5' wave in the alumAcraft and that hurt. And wAs wet. I have seriously gotten wet on a day that there was only ripples in the crestliner even with the monstrous full windshield. My friends dads boat we got out before his Canada trip, needless to say my friend and I could not stop laughing at how ridiculous it was.
Here is what I find most interesting to my style of fishing is how the boats draft is balanced while fishing. I am a big guy with lots of gear, my dad is small and my friends are big, now in any combination of me alone to me plus 3 the boats draft almost the same in the keel as the transom, 11" in all three of the glass boats I listed, Now the two aluminum boats draft less when in the cockpit than the glass boats do but while fishing I always end up with the keel being buried 14-15" with the transom drafting <6". That is what makes them harder to control because they can literally spin on the keel rather than be pulled on a rail where I want it to go.
I want to add that the provbass is a really good layout but when I came down to it nitro boats sales plan and its nation wide standard pricing makes me sit content that I didn't over pay, I inquired on a 2010 predator a few years back and they said base with no options 50g because they would have to order it and they (as in an independent dealer) just threw me off completely witch is a hard bullet for a good company like Lind to have to deal with. |

| Just ordered the Lund Pro V Bass XS. Supposed to be built late this month. I spent less than 45 with the 200 Verado.
Related question: I ordered Humminbird Helix with the new boat but have run Lowrance HDS for many years. How can I convert all my waypoints to the new units? |

No too long ago, Tracker was making some very nice boats whose hulls were formed from a single sheet of aluminum and had smoothly-curved contours like glass boats. They had a multi-species called "Tundra" and a bass boat called "Avalanche". The Next Bite guys used to run them, I think. I believe they licensed the hull-forming process from NASA. Sadly, they don't make them anymore. Maybe we'll see more boats like them when NASA's patent runs out.

When I went from lowrance to humminbird a few years ago I used a free program called GPS Babel to convert the waypoints. Basically convert the lowrance waypoints to a format the bird could use and load them into the bird. Was pretty painless. |

| Hey thanks a lot for the help Fellas. I will give a report on the boat when I get her. I don't think I can wait for the May opener. I may have to head to Kentucky!

Unless I really liked the layout better in the Lund, I would get the Triton. *
Glass is just better riding and easier to control.
Also, Suzuki would be my first choice in outboards.
* of those two choices. |
