I'm narrowing the choices down and I appreciate the help I got in my other thread doing that. I'm down to a 2006 Lund Explorer 1700 with a 115 Merc 4str or a 2007 Lund Explorer 1700 with a 90 Merc 4str. Both are new with full warranties. Neither have any accessories like trolling motor or depth finder. Both are listed at $18000 with not much room for movement. I know the 2006 Merc has the Yamaha head on it and it was changed in 2007. Is that a big thing? is the extra 25 HP worth the slightly older model years in both boat and motor? I think I'll pull the trigger this week...:eek: and any help would be appreciated.

if you are just planning 2 people most of the time 90 would be ok, but 4 or more the 115.

I had a similar boat with the 115. The 90 wouldn't have been enough for my needs. Two buddies and gear.
