| Anyone have the Fury 16 and able to comment on how it handles slightly rougher water. Would like something I can fish in protected inlets and inland lakes in pretty much all conditions, and in bigger water on the right days. Angler is slightly outside budget but figured would be a good comparison. Fury hull looks like it gets skinny toward the transom which I thought was weird and would potentially make the boat unstable in a wind. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | I have a 1625 Fury, and love the boat. They stopped making that model, but the hull is very similar. It handles as well as a 16' boat can in wind and rough water. |

| I fished in a 1600 Fury a handful of years ago but it looks like the same boat. I was on Moose Lake north of Ely and we took the portage over in to Basswood. We had weather too. I had a Smoker Craft 168 Pro Mag with a 25hp on it for many years in the '80s and '90s and took it all over including Eagle, LOTW, Vermilion, etc, etc, so I was familiar with handling such a boat. I was walleye fishing in the 1600 Fury but if I was muskie fishing my issue with the boat would be how low the casting deck was in the front. The 1625 Steve referenced has a much higher deck. For muskie fishing the deck on the 1600 Fury would be a stopper for me. Otherwise no issues with the boat. A boat this size can take you to many places just need to use discretion regarding weather conditions. |

| I have a Lund Fury 16. Between my boys and myself it has seen a lot of time on Lake St.Clair and the Detroit River. It handles the rough weather fairly well if you use a little common sense.

Same I own Lund Fury 16', version. Great medium sized fishing boat to small forsome of the biggest waters but I can get it into Canadian lakes I couldn't get a bigger boat into, perfect happy medium. |
