It’s a bit of a personal thing. Some like Ford. Some like Chevy. Others like Dodge. They are all great until they aren’t great any more. Boats are no different in my opinion. I own an ‘04 20’ Alaskan tiller with a 75 Yamaha. I gave it a complete overhaul two years ago. No complaints about the boat, the layout or anything else. It works well for what I use it for (moose hunt and diver hunting)
I also own a 2011 20’ Sport Angler that I use for fishing. I intentionally sought the boat out and was lucky enough to find a barely used one on consignment at a Lund dealer. The layout appealed to me with a forward set windshield and inward facing passenger seats it leaves a good amount of room for fishing. It is powered with a 175 Verado and a 15 pro kicker. I have not been impressed with the Mercury products for a number of reasons but I have always been partial to Yamaha so that could be causing part of my discontent and repowering isn’t out of the question for me yet. I’ll see how this season goes. The Sport Angler would benefit from some additional in floor storage in my opinion but I could also bring less gear. Both are excellent platforms for what I use them for. Both trailer well. Both are easy to own from a maintenance perspective. I quite like the riveted airplane comment above. I have seen more than one welded boat with cracked welds and intentionally steered away from that construction type for my application (Lake Erie primarily). I have owned quite a few different glass boats in the past. 23’ Proline, 30’ Pursuit (Tiara), 28’ Baha Cruiser. They all had their advantages and disadvantages. It I wouldn’t trade my Lund for any one of them. Well...maybe the Pursuit. It was a tank. Best made boat I have ever seen. But it weighed 8600lbs dry. Not a fair comparison. Feel free to PM if you have any specific questions or want any more info. ??
