I ended up buying a Lund down here in Texas about 5 to 6 years ago and probably the best boat I ever bought and that includes a few nice bass boats I have had (like my last Skeeter was a 20' boat with a 200HP motor). Of course I can't stand on that front deck casting all day any more so the Lund style was what I needed. Also one that would make my wife feel more comfortable than in a lower profile type boat. I looked a the construction of each Mfg. and the Lund was just awesome with starting with an I beam going down the middle of the bottom for strength and it's just made right! That is my 2 cents!

Also the overall design like where the gas tank is located, etc, etc!
