The Lund doesn't have much of a flare at all and the fact it's a dual console means, either I'm getting nailed or my partner. I can live with getting wet, that's what they make foul weather gear for and I'm no stranger to climbing into it when needed. My next move is so I can have a center console so I can stand to run, because my back takes a beating in some of the stuff I push my boat through. I want a similar albiet slightly drier ride, a well built boat that will take what I can push it through, because if the motor's running a lot of it has to do with boat handling. That's the other reason I'd rather be standing to run, I'd be getting a better view of what is coming.
Yes the trolling motor is a must, I can't live without it, so all these high riding bows or walkarounds are out for me, it's a flats or bay style boat so I can run a 36V trolling motor off the bow. I only know the couple names from the fishing shows I watch and I happened to see the Ranger center console at the last fishing show I went to and it looked well built. That Triton I see in a lot of those red fishing shows down in the keys looks sweat, I guess I'll have to see about the boat shows this coming winter.
