Re: Fisher boats vs. Lund, Crestliner, Alumacraft, etc.? here
A while back I had a 12' Fisher. I would say that build quality wise it was equal to the current 12' Lund.<br /><br />It was a good solid boat and took a beating well. A few rivets leaked a bit after a while. It didn't take much to get em to stop though.<br /><br />My opinion is that Fisher is a good boat on par with Lund. Just keep in mind I only have experience with 12 footers. more
My own Tracker was Ok. It was the standard issue "Pro Team" bass boat. Good bang-for-the-buck. But one was enuf for me. The newer Tracker TARGA models are a substantial improvement over the entry level Trackers. Frankly I would much rather have a Tracker Targa than a Crestliner. But there is no Fisher dealer near me. I don't know if Fisher has models equivalent to the Targas.<br /><br />So no simple answer,<br />Kelly
The latest line of Key Largo boats includes center consoles, bay boats, and flats boats, ranging from 15 to 22 feet. All come with a 10-year structural warranty, and a lifetime warranty on the stringers, floor, and transom. The larger models feature walk-in consoles, and all models have Coosa-cored transoms, angling perks like aerated livewells, and standard no-feedback steering. The surprise comes when you start looking at pricing. The 17-foot bay boat, for example, barely goes over $22,000 rigged with a Yamaha F70 four-stroke outboard. And a 22-footer with an F150 can be had for a hair over 38K. more
The Clearwater line is a bit more upscale, ranging from a $30,000 18-foot center console to a $100,000 28-footer. Unlike the Key Largo’s spackle-finish interiors, the Clearwaters have a full inner liner. Plus, they come with a slew of standard features. The 2300 WI center console, for example, has two insulated bow compartments that fold into a casting deck and/or bow seating, four tackle stowage boxes, a locking walk-in console, four gunwale-mounted rodholders, a raw water washdown, Lenco trim tabs, a lighted 45-gallon livewell, and Sea Star hydraulic steering. Stringers and bulkheads are constructed of Coosa Composites Bluewater 26 panels, and foam is pumped into voids between the hull and deck. here
Fishing boat aficionados have long known the names Key Largo and Clearwater, but they haven’t seen new models from these builders in a while. The wait is over, thanks to SAK Marine’s acquisition of these two lines. We told you about SAK’s recent moves to bring both well-known name brands and long-time industry professionals into the fold, and now they’re ready to kick things off by reintroducing Key Largo and Clearwater. more
A new company breathes life into two fishing boat lines.
You see this a lot with cars. An older luxury car will usually have all of the modern conveniences you’d expect in a newer car, while an older economy car will not. [links]
This means the budget equipment that was used is probably out of date or just non-existent. [links]
Knowing all of this, should you consider buying a Luhrs boat?
That might sound like a lot, but it’s good for a boat that costs this much to buy.
The little details that separate a luxury boat from a budget boat just wasn’t there. Instead of metal hatch handles, the company went with plastic handles. Instead of high-end showerheads, the company went with low-budget ones.
Polaris will continue to provide customer service and parts support for Rinker, Larson FX and Striper boats and will honor the warranties of boats purchased from Polaris. [links]
“We deeply regret the impact this will have on our employees, boat dealers, sales representatives, suppliers – and, of course, our Rinker, Striper and Larson FX customers,” Mack continued. “However, today’s decision will allow us to concentrate our investments on driving growth and innovation within Bennington, Godfrey and Hurricane and strengthening our leadership in those segments.” [links]
Today Polaris Inc. announced it has made the strategic decision to focus its marine investments and growth efforts on its flagship boating brands. As a result, Polaris will stop producing Rinker, Striper and Larson FX boat brands at its Syracuse, Indiana plant in June.
The company will continue to produce its Bennington, Godfrey, and Hurricane boat brands in its two campuses located in Elkhart, Indiana.
“This decision was made after extensive consideration of every available alternative,” said Bob Mack, president of Global Adjacent Markets and Boats, and senior vice president of Corporate Development & Strategy, Polaris. "We were fully prepared to expand these brands and our presence within their respective segments of the marine industry. But today, considering market dynamics and the continued uncertainty around the sustained impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have decided not to move forward with investing the necessary resources to maintain and grow Rinker, Striper and Larson FX, and will discontinue production of those brands.”
