Did you end up with the 2000? Windshield or tiller?


Ended up buying a Lund 1775 Impact. So it goes 17' 10" long and has an 8' wide beam, 25" deep transom. Its coming with a 90 hp Mercury on it and hoping that works fine for just my wife and I. We won't be needing long runs and right now inventory is tight enough that I was happy to find it. Worst case I can upsize to a 115 if needed down the road but I highly doubt it. Picking it up either Saturday or early next week. The Impact has a side console and mostly open floor. Should be ideal for the fishing we want to do.

First thing I am doing is upgrading trailer tires on it due to mostly long drives to spots we'll be fishing. Has a travel cover coming with it. Need to grab a Terrova troller and some electronics yet.
