Lund Alaskan 2000

[MathGeek]

We'll be making the LA trip this year with an Alumacraft V16 which has served us well since 2006 for everything from the great lakes to the CO trout reservoirs to Big Lake, Timbalier Bay, Fourchon, and Calcasieu Pass. I'm starting to look for something a bit bigger to better handle the rougher days in the CO reservoirs and have a bit more confidence fishing the passes in LA and Pensacola and for sneaking out into the GoM a few miles on the calmer days.

I've never been a fan of fiberglass. To much maintenance and too much potential for hidden problems. I am a fan of aluminum hulls. The Lund Alaskan is a highly regarded Al hull and reputed to be able to handle a bit of rough water. I don't fish a lot of skinny water, preferring the passes and channels and structure. I also need something with a deeper V hull to keep it comfortably in action on the CO reservoirs when the wind picks up.

So I'm thinking about the Lund Alaskan 2000 with twin 40's, 50's, or 60's.

What Y'all think?
