Wow, worked next to Delmar on the starting tables over 20 years ago with Dennis and Brent. That guy would rivet a boat so fast (Brent and I) used to see that we could get more done in a day while keeping a high level of standard. Kinda miss bucking rivets with those guys.

Pro V 2075 Limited my dream boat!!

I wonder if they ever considered friction stir welding... Could align everything in a jig with backing support and weld the whole thing together with an industrial robot. Pretty slick really.

Please open a Lund plant in Windsor Ontario... surrounded by the Great Lakes and we have an eager work force.

i loved working there

Did you retire?

I just put a deposit on a Lund Fury 1600 ss. Im trading in a Lowe Stryker 17 and I'm excited for the first time in like 20 years about something. I liked the Lowe ok but it just isnt the right boat for me, I believe the Lund is and I cant wait to fish it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just bought a Lund 1875 Impact Sport. Why are the windshields on many lund owner's boats, including mine, off track when shut? One reason I bought a lund was for fit and finish, but didnt think once about shutting the windshield on the showroom floor to see if it was on point. Drove it home, shut the windshield, and was off about 3/4 inch......smh. Just gonna ignore it cause if it was like that new, no way that's gonna get fixed. Just is what it is. Love everything else on the boat.

Lund and Crestliner are owned by Brunswick Corporation which is the largest marine manufacturer in the world. It’s weird because Crestliner boats prides themselves on the fact that their boats are fully welded and Lund boats are riveted. Say what you want to but in my opinion, the only better looking aluminum boats than the Pro V model Lund boats are the AVX model Vexus Bass boats.

This is why I’ll only buy Lund boats. Made by hand by real people. Also in my own state.

Lund has wood in their boats?

Will Lund do custom items eg no wiring, no engine, leaving windshield separate for install by owner etc?

Yes on Lund’s website you can customize your own

Kalle. You paid more to buy a Lund because you don't want your boat to break in half 20 miles from shore when things get ruff. You also paid more because nobody uses available storage space like Lund, even Alumacraft. It cost money to make that space useable. One more reason is because any experienced boater won't pay you squat for your used piece of crap Tracker when it comes time to sell it.

Fiona Feng I just bought the targa V20. It’s got 5 year warranty and lifetime warranty on welds and aluminum. 🤷‍♂️. Im stoked. I think my family will enjoy it. If not I’ll trade it in for a jet sled later 😂. I wanted a river raft outfitted for fishing and multi day expeditions in Alaska. My wife wanted a pontoon. We settled for the targa 🤷‍♂️🤣

So the boat experts at Lund test run (18:58) all the installed motors without water?!?!

It's a four-stroke with an oil reservoir crankcase. Heat is what will kill a motor and even a minute of run time isn't going to get the motor hot enough to do anything; they had it going maybe 15 seconds for that video shot. If they do any tuning, I'm sure they will have a hose hooked up.

My first boat was a tracker Grizzly. Keel weld cracked. Got it welded at two shops, one that specializes in aluminum welding, 2nd time at Cracker, I mean Tracker dealership. Have a 2020 Lund Impact now. Figured I would give a riveted boat a shot since they flex and welds do not. We shall see how it goes

Too bad they still use wood floors. Marine plywood is still plywood. I went with aluminum flooring. Won’t ever get soft. EVENTUALLY the plywood will.
