BSF, I have been a LUND owner since 2004. My first one was a brand new 2004 1700 ProSport with a 115 HP Merc 4 stroke. I added a bow mount trolling motor after market. I sold that boat in 2006 and now have a 2007 Lund 14 ft. with a 15 HP Merc. I don't go as fast anymore, but I can troll all weekend on a 3 gal. tank of gas. And in the low water years, I can still get on the water when others in deeper drafts can't. The comment made about the wider gunwales is very accurate. With them your down riggers won't be limited to just where the supports are. They also make a handy spot for cup holders [
]. For the fishing I did, and the places I went, the 115 HP was a good motor. But no mater what size you get, be sure the dealer has put the correct size prop on it. Prop pitch can make a very big difference on some of the higher altitude lakes in Utah.
I think no matter what size you decide on, a Lund is a good, reliable, stable boat that will give you years of service with just a minimum amount of care and upkeep.
