I've had a 14.5 ft, high transom Lund for a long time also. Been in lots of
salt water, banged on rocks and driven too hard on the chop.

It's not pretty anymore, but it's watertight and handles bad weather well.
If they made weekend cruisers, my next boat would be a Lund too.

I have no experience with the specific Lund you mentioned, but I've owned
a
WC-14 for 4 years. All it's got is bench seats and the lights *I*
installed,
so I can't speak to the issue of how all your attached accessories would
hold up. But:

1) I've asked the dealer numerous times to let me know if a bigger, USED
Lund comes along. His response is always something like "Yeah...right.
You've gotta inherit them from someone. Nobody seems to get rid of them".

2) I take my boat through choppy water it really doesn't belong in and
beat
the crap out of it. The only seepage I've ever had is when I haven't
noticed
that the drain plug is getting worn out. The rest of the boat's still nice
&
tight, and the hull paint has held up beautifully.

Unless I needed a boat style that Lund didn't make, I wouldn't buy
anything
else next time around.

Hi all,
My first post to this news group.

I am looking at purchasing a new boat. I need one that is usable for
fishing and usable for touring the lake, with 4-6 people. I have
narrowed
the search to the following two boats:

1. Lund: Prosport 1700
2. PrinceCraft superpro 176

Both boats are 2003 models, and both with a 4 stroke Merc 115HP.

Any good point, bad points with the above boats? Which one is better?
Any
body out there with experience with both?

Thanks,
Ken
