- None of Lunds boats have hard tops - almost every boat on the coast has a hard top
- Lund boats are built to be towed behind a vehicle and launched - the coastal boats stay put for the most part of their lives - the tin is lighter because of it
If I was buying a 16-20' boat for the prairies and Kingfisher wouldn't even get a sniff from me - trust me I really was looking hard at them and they are simply not as good for the way I fish and use my boat. Others may disagree, but for a ski/fish and store my fishing stuff - the Lund was my best option.
Now if I lived on the coast - that's a different story - the Lund wouldn't get a sniff. Worthless on the coast.
Maybe we are saying the same thing here I guess.

Perhaps you should go back to the first page and read it to understand why I wrote what I did. You got close with your last line but your rant makes me think you didn’t see the guys telling us how useless the Lund is because they aren’t used off our Pacific Northwest coast. Or how Hewes craft and kingfisher make a “better” boat then Lund.
