before you make your final decision give yourself some time to look at express boats...best aluminum boat in my opinion
We have a Ranger Cherokee (aluminum boat) and have had very good luck with it!!! I would recommend one to anyone who is wanting a aluminum boat. I would also check out the G3 boats too, they look to be very nice. More homework for you! LOL!
I've looked at a couple Cherokees if I'm not mistaken Lowe made those for Ranger. The new ones are made in Flippin Ark. by Ranger. I have a Lowe 170W and love it. But the new Ranger RT will be my next boat, I almost pulled the trigger at Collinsville on a new one, but my son was there to pull me back down to earth.
I had a crestliner (06) 1850 cmv. and also had several glass rangers. The crestliner had a better ride and there was not one thing about it that I didn't like. They don't make that version anymore. I thought that crestliner used to make the cherokee.
If I was going to buy another Aluminum boat my first choice would be a Lund, my second choice would be a Lowe. I really don't think they make a more solid aluminum boat than Lund. If they do I have not seen it.

I have a lund 2010 gro guide for sale. Its a heck of a boat, it has a 175 verado tiller on it
Look at the lowe. I have the 175 stinger love it would of got the 195 but my home lake hp limit is 75 And the predator by sea ark is a bad arse machine too. I went to several boat shows and dealers Check them all out. Looking is free lol. If I had the money I'd pick up an old ranger 690 with a 150 . Heck that may have been cheaper
Kilnducks. Pm me some pics and price. I have co worker looking for that type of rig. Maybe I can help you sell it
