you'll like it. Lund is a good brand.
Mine is a 1950 with a 5.0 l inboard.
Winterizing it tonight....

RHYBAK, great looking boat,but if that's your wife in the boat she doesn't look too happy.

Nice boat Rhybak - Congrats!

I am in the process of working a trade-in now for my 11 year old Princecraft Pro166 with a 90hp 4stroke merc... she's been good to me but it might be time to move on.

I saw a nice LUND posted at Carlton Place Marina


Oarin.

She is very happy with the boat.
I caught her deep in thought with the Salesgirl.

I am headed towards more of a bass boat (most of what I do in the summer, other than my Kipawa trip is bass fishing in shallow weedy bays so I don't want a boat with such a deep hull).

I still like the full windshield/protection so I found a Stratos 486 is my favourite...   the deal is not finalized, but should be by the end of next week.  I have a holding deposit on it now so it is premature to say it is mine, but darn close.

The link below shows the exact boat - a 2015 stratos 486 with a 150 Evinrude on it - the dealer filmed this last winter when they rented the old Target location at the local mall and had a boat show for 4 months...they didn't sell it all year so they continued to mark it down on price... and they are offering me a very fair trade in value on my Princecraft.   An electric motor and a 9 inch fish finder will be installed as part of the deal.

Hi John,

Great looking ride! I like the size of your garage as well

Congrats on your new boat too Greg. Looks sharp!

[Balsams]

I was thinking the same thing if that's your garage.

[Mr3seasonscamp]

Very nice John cant wait to see it

[Fort Wisers]

Agreed on the garage and the boat, both look great!

[RHYBAK]

LOL
I can only wish that I had a garage like that.
The sales office was getting ready to shrinkwrap the boat as I was reviewing it to purchase.

After I bought it ,they put it away till spring

Nice rig, Mr. Rhybak. And I appreciate the photo image on two counts. First, when asked what I want from Christmas, I'll just show people that picture. Second, when my not-so-young kids wonder what kind of things make a grown person 'spoiled', I'll show them that picture.



Congrats...it really is a beauty...dream boat of a lifetime....

[RHYBAK]

Thank you all.
A terrible time of year to buy it since I won't see it again till March , but it really gives me something to really look forward to.

Now to shop for fishfinders and downriggers.
