Lonehunter must be from the midwest or the east where those famous walleye waters are. Lucky dude!
Here in Utah you can find walleyes in Lake Powell, Starvation, Willard, Yuba, Utah lake, Deer Creek, and a few other places (You gotta know where they are or they are simply just too small).
I love trolling for them with bottom bouncers and Lindy rigs with crawler harness spinners. You can even bounce the bottom with a curly tail grub very slow. You can catch them via crankbaits.
If walleyes are spooked, they move to the side of the boat, thats where those planer boards comes in. They're great! If walleyes are deep yet suspended, you can use jet divers to get down to that depth.
As for boats- I like Tracker Targa... they make for the most perfect walleye boats for big water fishing. 18k for them. I have a Tracker Pro Angler 16, which serves both as a bass/walleye boat. I have had to make modifications to allow it to be a big water boat. (I installed wave wacker plexiglass in the back of the boat to keep the waves from entering the back side while backtrolling) This boat cost me 10K and I've caught a great number of walleyes and bass in this little ship.
Lund makes great walleye boats but I beleive you pay more for the name. You can get essentally the same stuff in a Tracker for less money.
Crestliners are good boats but not familiar with them. Again they are pricey. Hope this helps.
