Lund Owners - loose rivets/leaks???

I'm in the market for either a Lund or Crestliner. I have to say I like the quality of the Lund better, but am impressed by both manufacturers. Reading of these Leaky Lunds on this board have me wondering a bit. Should one go for the welded hull instead? Are leaks a major problem withe the lunds. Like I said, I like the feel and quality of the lund better but am worried of loose rivets, etc. Thanks!

When I see the major airlines flying with welded fuselages, I may consider something besides a Lund. Until then, I will stick with the rivited Lund that I own! I believe the analogy is in order!

I have owned lund boats for years and have never had a problem with leaking rivets. I am not say it couldn't happen but if lund made boats that leaked they would not be in business. Lund make nice boats and so do Crestliner and there is not a company out there that makes the perfect boat. All boats have pros and cons so go out and look at them and decides which on is set up right for your needs. You won't go wrong with either boat. I said this in an earlier post that they rivet airplanes togather so it can't be all that bad.

will pick up my new lund in April. I had some of the same concerns until the sales rep. told me that Lund stands by their riveted construction for the life of the boat. Just like any other "mass production" item, you may run into a lemon now and then, but as long as the company stands by its product you can't go wrong. I know a few Lund owners and haven't heard anything but positive reports from them concerning their boats
