As it's been mentioned before, the Lunds retain their value very
well. They
also handle bigger water and severe pounding so well, people
probably take them
on water they should't. I know I now use my little Lund Rebel on
Long Island
Sound and have used it extensively on Lake Erie and Michigan. Lund
themselves
are very easy to contact and speak with just about anyone you want
to.
I don't know much about Princecraft, never seen one, never been on
one. Hard
for me to compare.
Lund & Princecraft are of equal quality.
Lund is more popular in Minnesota and Princecraft is more popular in
Canada.
I would go with the dealer you feel more comfortable with.
Yes Princecraft & Lund are on the higher end of both quality & price,
but that doesn't mean that some of the other brands are bad. Lots of
people have brands like Alumacraft and Crestliner, and are very happy
with them too. People who buy Alumacraft or Crestliner probably save
a little money over buying a Lund or a Princecraft, and in their mind
they feel that their boat is just as good as Lund or a Princecraft.

Here in Minnesota, where Lund, Crestliner, Alumacraft are all made
(except for the alumacraft jon boats) they are considered close to
equal. When I was shopping a few years ago, the Alumacraft equivilent
of my boat was a few hundred dollars cheaper out of a total package
price of close to 18k.
