Been a Lund owner for decades. I like Lund boats in that they're the best made aluminum boat. Crestliners and Alumacraft are a definite step below. The boat business is super competitive. If something costs more, it's because of the products going into it that make it. Cheaper means cheaper. But, in the glass vs aluminum argument, when it comes to ride in rough water fiberglass is going to blow aluminum away. You can shape fiberglass much better than you can aluminum. But if you aren't going to be out there breaking 3+ foot waves a lot, then find the one with the layout you like the best for how you plan to or do fish.
