Lund and Crestliner are the top selling boats for Northern US boats in the midwest. I use mine even on the gulf of Mexico. No matter Rivet or weld most boats like you are talking about will swamp and sink before getting damaged by ruff water. Trust me I have been in real water as a charter captain in the Gulf and I have also maxed out my 18 ' crestliner in big water as well. Most our comfortable walleye and bass boats would be fine taking on the maximum waves year after year. It has little to do with the boat falling apart as they are all strong enough to handle what they are built for. But without a self bailing haul and open bow at some point you will swamp the boat. So I guess once your boat is sunk who cares if your rivets or welds leak. These types of boats are made for nice days and small weather and should last a life time if taken care of young man. Now as for Bass Tracker, It's a great cheep little boat and if taken care of will last you years. I also see them in salt water. By the way ever notice that Multi million dollar Yachts have wood in them? Ever seen one of these new $500k and up boats with 4, 5 and 6 425's hanging on a transom made of wood ? Wood has been around since before Noah so I think maybe when you get a few more years under your belt you will understand. But at your age you already know enough about boats to give advice ? I'm 54, a licenses captain running boats as large as my home and down to 12' boat for bluegill. Been on the water all my life, and I am not sure I would ever have done this video. I don't feel I have the experience yet to say if rivets or wood or welded is best. I guess I went from 18 and knowing everything, to 54 and knowing nothing. Thanks young fella for the information. I'm 54 and will never know what there is to know about boats and water and when I think I have I will be in BIG trouble. Cap. T

If you ever want to solve the welded vs rivet question. Planes wings are riveted, not welded as in the majority of the plane. It comes down to flex required in aluminum. Rivet allows for flex. Weld joints don’t flex well. I’ll take rivet on this one.

Had a 2000 16’ Lund explorer. Solid as a rock. Never leaked a drop the whole time I owned it. No rot at all on the deck. Sold it in July of’20 for 65percent what I paid for 20 years ago. New Lund Tyee in the garage. No regrets.

Had a fisher hawk which Basstracker made and owned and I broke 3 welds on the bottom from impacting issues . Insurance company scrapped it out said it wasn’t worth fixing because of cost . Guess what I bought a Lund which is riveted and it is still dry, handles the waves a lot better than your tracker does. A dry boat is a save boat. Also going back to the insurance deal another reason was they said there was a lot of issues with that style that broke welds consistently.

My Lund is older than you and still going strong after years of great lakes waves. There are still no leaks. A Tracker under the same conditions would be destroyed by now. My friends Tracker was literally falling apart after a few years. We had to hang on to the console to keep it in place. This video is just silly. Just look at the likes vs dislikes.

3. Lund has a true lifetime warranty on their riveted hull. Only fishing boat company to do so. I have a 14' riveted hull Lund from 1954, never once have I seen water in the boat from a seam. If you can find a Lund seam that has failed outside of operator error, please show me. 2. Yes, I feel Lund is expensive as well, but warranted too, a fully stripped down model Lund is comparable to a Tracker, Lowe, etc. Lund also has way more options and accessories available from factory. 1. Yes, most boat decks are marine grade plywood or balsa cored. However, the vinyl coat and/or sealants used protect the wood from rot. Unlike some manufacturers that just put carpet straight onto the decking, other high quality manufacturers seal and protect the wood. However, Lund has a full true lifetime warranty on their decking. If you want a full poly deck, you're going to pay for it...oh wait...I think Lund does that too. Mind you, I do like Tracker boats as well. Not as high of quality, but good boats in their own right. Either or, the point is having a boat and fishing. Boaters/anglers could go back and forth on manufacturers just like truck/car guys.

Lund vs ranger or the tracker is not even a comparison. ranger and tracker is primarily a bass boat fish while moving. While to lund. Is more of a sit anchor and fish such as carp and cat fish. Yest you can do that on the bass boats but it's more difficult as the idea is to catch the cat fish with circle hooks you leave the rod in the holder the fish pulling away with the bail while the pole resistance causes the fish to hook itself. On the ranger and most tracker they do not in most cases make them with a track gunnel. So you really can mount accessories with out drilling into the boat. Lund has that feature Lund is better sorted on big river such as the Ohio then those bass boats because it was designed for that Purpose and catfish tournaments. This is all subjective

I agree. By the way... jet fighters and most aircrafts are riveted and are abused by climatics changes, stress and daily flights ! So riveting is not that bad ☺ Rivets are mostly done by hand compare to welding that is done by robots in a manufacturing facility. So at the end rivets are more expensive and provide jobs ☺ you do have robots for riveting but in a tight environnement like boat building it is not optimum. That is my opinion no offense every builders have their plus and minus at the end it is personal tastes and believes. In other words it's hard to sell a Ford to a Mopar guy !☺

Coming from a guy who drives a tracker....lowest quality cheapest made boat, bass pro mass produced garbage, look at how wavy the sides are on all tracker boats, cheap aluminum cheap welds, you get what you pay for. Lunds hold their value like a Toyota. As for rivets yeah they are so inferior that they are used on aircraft and ocean going ships. Hulls flex welds crack and rivets give, plus if you pop a rivet it can be sealed and replaced, good luck finding a cheap aluminum welder to fix a cracked weld. Lund double plates the bow section and now uses composite transoms. Get your facts straight man. Don’t bash something you have never owned. I’ve owned tons of boats the only ones that road dry and smooth for aluminum were the Lunds and they commanded the highest resale of any boat I’ve owned. Welds look a lot nicer I agree but there is nothing wrong with a rivet. But I’m with ya on the wooden decking really annoying they haven’t come up with a better solution to that yet.

First off bro, Lunds comparison model to your bass tracker is the Lund pro v bass . All pro bass models have zero organic materials in the boat such as wood . What kind of Lakes do you even fish ? Little rookie puddles? I bet so, because you could never take tracker on big water like a great lake , one change in wind and that tracker becomes a death trap . I would kno Ive had a bass tracker 195 largest model you can get ! Terriable ride with cavitation and if you need to turn on a dime it aint happening . Prove me wrong ! Further more if you bought that brand new you over paid for a fn jon boat with a small ass motor that gets even more sketchy the faster it goes . Point is here, your boat can nvr be compared to any Lund with deep V Ips2 haul with 2 reverse chines . Bass tracker is not even in Lunds league. Dont get me wrong here bass tracker is ok but STAY IN YO LANE CHIEF!

my god😳 lund is the most renound aluminum boat on the market. on top of that, glass boats are NOT more flimsy, and weigh a hell of a lot more than any aluminum boat. the rivets aren’t the only thing holding the hull together either!? lund also hasn’t put wood in their boats since like the early 2000s either

Keep in mind that where lund is riveted the aluminum is doubled acting as a spar. Also aluminum has different qualities. Some is recycled crap with lots of impurities. I do agree the upgrade options are like buying a car in the 70s and 80s and they should just offer less customization and lower prices. Pros and cons.

i have a 85 sportfisher 21 ft riveited dose not leak

I just bought a 2075 ProV Bass XS. Funny vid bruh

Before our family got a new boat. We had a 1977 lund boat. To this day it still does not leak with rivets.

I had a tracker boat and it failed at the double seem. I took it to a shop and they said the design they came up with was absolutely terrible. They tried to re weld the split down the middle and it still failed water tight. The problem was they filled the boat with foam and it made it that much harder to repair. Of all the boats buddy said came in he said tracker boats are the worst design ever. I have no connection to Lund all I know is these boats according to the shop is these boats are garbage.

I’ve owned both brands. In the past, riveted boats leaked because of poor craftsmanship. Similar to poor welding. Lund however, have been superior in their riveted boats. Never had a problem with any of their riveted boats, even their old 1960 boats. Welding however can be strong, but poor craftsmanship will break where the welds are jointed. Trackers are great budget boats. However i think there is an issue with their quality control, it seems to be a hit or miss. Some trackers experience cracks along the bow of the boat where the weld is. Lund on the other hand have been very solid. I guess my purpose for this post is that it doesn’t matter if its welded or riveted. It all matters on how quality on the boat is. A quality riveted boat will outlast a welded many years and vice versa.

Thanks man. You sold me on buying a Lund Rebel ss.

If rivets are not high quality how come you see airplane wings with only rivets and not welded. Bcs they they have to flex

I’ve owned Lund boats my entire life. 6 boats in total. Not one of them ever leaked a drop of water.

Sir, what you forget to mention is Lund rivets on the spray rail which puts another 50 holes in the boat instead of roll forming the spray rails in the side aluminum sheet. Ranger aluminum welded hulls were a joke too as the guy who sold 15 of them at the Hammond, In store told me all went back to Ranger for cracked welds!

The hull is riveted because when a hull is in stress welds don’t give and rivets give. Welds can crack and welds are not able to be repaired. Rivets are actually more expensive to do because it is hand made, welds are automated, ever wondered why trackers are cheaper than aluma craft or Lund

Im exhausted from scrolling through the comments trying to find 3 people who agree with you. A friend of mine just sold his 7 year old Lund.. Ill go out on a limb and say he got more for it than you paid for your Tracker new. Aaaand.. he bought another Lund. Why? Because Lund boats are in a completely different category than Tracker boats.. people in the know choose Lund.

Is that your boat or your dads?

I am in the market for a new aluminum fishing boat the three boats I’ve been looking at are StarCraft legend and Lund by far Lund had the most options biggest engine and a mini Kota trolling motor and was $6000 cheaper than both of those..

My friend bought brand new legend 4 years ago and nothing but problems with leaks and the foam under floor keeps falling apart and he had to disconnect the auto bilge pump as the pieces of foam constantly breaking off would plug up bilge constantly.

I'm not a Lund owner, but do have a 41 year ole, Deep V Sylvan . Rivet boat and it still floats and keeps me on the water. I have zero issues with rivets boats. If a weld breaks a whole seam could be a issue..Rivet boats Especially Double Rivets. Are extremely strong and if one does fail plenty to back it up..41 year ole Rivet boat still floating n fishing says it all. . A Lund is my Dream boat tho..

You actually think a bass tracker is high quality? Man you have much to learn

2008 Lund WC16 here. Only water I’ve ever had in the hull fell from the sky as rain.

Tracker gives what? For free??

Welded halls crack right around the bead of the weld

@@PhilosophyDaily they don’t crack on the weld, they crack in the heat affected area next to the weld. Lund can use thinner aluminum than Tracker because they know their riveted hulls aren’t going to crack.

Yeah because Tracker was cheap and didn't put enough bracing in there hulls causing oil canning while in the water. I should know I've spent probably 100 hours plus fixing my tracker, paying professional tig welders, fabrication, buying metal etc. Just want people to be aware of whats out there.

Rivets last longer and are easier to repair. Reweld or pop a new rivet in. If you take a big hit a couple rivets loosening is far less catastrophic than a weld failing.

Lund is 30-40% more than a Ranger? Riveted hull is bad but Lund gives lifetime warranty? This coming from a Tracker owner?

You should research more before making a purchase. Welded hulls are more prone to crack instead of flexing like riveted. Lund has made the #1 aluminum boat hull for years hence the price. I heard that lund also went to hdpe composite transoms so you might be wrong there also.

Been running riveted aluminum boats since 1980 with no problems. Been running my 2006 Lund 1800 Fisherman since new on Lake Oahe, so it has been on rough water. No problems. I have seen a few welded aluminum boats with cracks in the transom area. Seams on welded boats are also known to Crack under stress.

The only reason why you didn't buy a Lund is your inexperience bro! A boat that somewhat compares to a Lund is a North River boat, so I don't know why you are comparing TrackerBoats to Lunds, LOL

Had many riveted boats, no problems, 30 year old boat , no leaks! One Question, ever see a welded airplane? Why welds don’t give they crack. All aluminum boats are expensive these days !!!

Wait till one of your welds crack. Hope tracker has good bilge pumps. Lot easier to replace those cheap rivets.

0:02 When you asked me what is up do you mean right now or when you filmed the video? Right now I`m typing a response to your question. As for what was up when you filmed this I would need to know the date and time you filmed this. Thanks.

It looks like the comments are more informative and less biased 😂

I feel like you're that trailer park kid that got his 1st car. I've owned and worked on boats for years and I have a tracker targa. But with tracker the qualities not there. All of the decks are made up of cheap plywood. They have the chinciest dashes in the business. The rug that they use on their interiors falls apart as soon as water hits it. The supposed diamond coat that they put on their boats that is supposed to be powdered coat just falls off over time. The robotic welding is not good. There is a serious design flaw in their boats where where the square tubing structure presses up against the hull, If you look at the bottom of that boat after it's been used and been used in semi rough water the bottom is not smooth anymore it's dented and will eventually crack. I have never seen a tracker boat with more than 200 hours on it and there is a reason for that they they don't last they will not make it through a single bass season if you try to use them as a pro angler boat. Lund on the other hand will last a lifetime rivets are so easily replaced they replaced that they're very easy to repair when you crack a tracker you have to cut a square out of it and ha. ve it rewelded and it's unsightly. You could easily replace some rivets and never know the difference. You're comparing apples to oranges too completely different things one is the cheapest boat on the market and the other is the top of the line boat on the market it's obvious which 1 is better it just shows how ignorant you are you should keep your thoughts to yourself.

If you think a welded tracker is more sturdy then a lund you’ve lost your mind

the riveted hull on a LUND has a lifetime warranty!

Watch "Lund boat with 66 holes drilled in it" I am waiting on my new Lund and there's a reason why there is a waiting list.

Lund boats have the best resale value on the boating market because of the outstanding quality, I think you need to reevaluate what kinda cheap boat you bought

When this young man started talking about boats and I see he's standing in front of a Tracker boat I just had to laugh you're in a Tracker🤣🤣🤣🤣

You seem to be stressing welded vs rivets a lot. I trust rivets more than welds on something that sees stress and constant vibration. welded aluminum cracks more often in that case. kinda why if you want something to last out of aluminum you just machine it out of a piece of billet.

What a tool. Extrusions, twin plating, composite transoms and a lifetime warranty on riveted seams is what makes Lund the finest aluminum fishing boat. How's the warranty on a break that occurs along side of your welded seam?

Does it tell you something when you have more dislikes than likes in a video?

My dad has a 1992 Lund tyee gran sport with a 2 stroke Yamaha V4 130. No problems other than the horn and live wells not working, but otherwise runs great.

Riveted boats allow for better microflexion of the hull as the boat takes impact moving across the water. It's all about impact displacement. Welded boats a much more jarring and that breaks shotty welds. I have a 2012 Lund and I could not be happier with its performance over the past 12 years.

I’ve had three Lund ProV’s! Never one problem! Out on Lake Minnetonka 2 to 4 times per week all summer!

did you ever see what holds the brooklyn bridge together? 1 guess- and it was built before automobiles were around and now it carries 2 levels of cars and trucks across the east river in NYC. If you guessed, wait for it, RIVETS you are correct!

Just spent 4 days in a riveted Lund boat. Not a drop of water in the boat. Boat never left the water. Also Lunds float stable even when complete full of water. They can’t sink.

I have had a Lund since 1995 and it has no leaks I can assure you that also there is no problems with the deck with anything

Wow!! What Lund are you comparing to your tracker?? LUND has MANY all welded boats, If you take the LUND 17' Renegade with the 90 HP yes it is more expensive, It is 100% welded and has no wood any place!! The hull thickness is .100 witch is the going average. I have owned a tracker and traded it for a LUND best thing I eve did!! Also did you ever notice that 747's and big jets like that are riveted together!!

you had me excited when someone FINALLY mentioned the renegade. The only comparable boat LUND makes to a Bass Tracker. Both are modified V hulls, similar aesthetic design, etc. Then you lost me. No aluminum boat LUND makes is welded, at least not late models. They use a composite glue and then rivet. They'll flex in big waves but not bust. LUND's IPS hull design, which they have on most of their economy line boats, is far and away a better hull to get on pad quickly and actually shed water away from the boat. LUND's IPS2 hull concept personifies this on the PRO-V lineups, Baron, etc. Bass Tracker's have their place. They're a great economy option. You see a ton of old ones out there. However since Bass Pro Shops bought out them and a lot of other manufacturers I hear quality and service by the brand have gone down hill. Same concept as buying a Wal Mart bicycle, you get what you pay for (convenience, availability, etc). Dollar to dollar, I'd spend more to get a LUND Renegade over a Bass Tracker brand new. Enjoy your welded boat, you'll learn :D

THIS is the video that should have a "misinformation" banner on it!

Nice bass release DIPS&^T

I love these comments. Thinking about buying a 1976 LUND and the thing looks just as sexy as it did 45 years ago.
