Chinook,
This is my third try at this posting, being more of a "lurker" on BFT than a contributor, you'll have to bear with me.
this info is related to the pictures posted above.
My search for the perfect boat, put a Lund in my driveway.
I looked at everything on the market, and settled on a light weight alum. boat with a large power plant. It has a V6 chev. I/O with a Merc outdrive.
I outfitted it with elec. (big jon) downriggers, fish finders front, midship, and rear, so I can see the bottom from any seat in the boat. It has both CB and marine radios. the boat comes with a good rod locker, and large live well (for those that keep the critters).
The power/weight ratio is good, it gets out of the hole in seconds, and one morning (in my madness) at Lake Powell, I had it to 55 mph before I backed off, and I still had a ways to go on the gas.
I wish you luck in your quest, and hope that you find a boat that makes you as happy as mine has made me.
If you have questions on the the boat or mack fishing at the Gorge let me know.
the pictures on the other post has both one of the boat, and one of a mack I took at the Gorge.
