[QUOTE="Allen, post: 206948, member: 389"] I went to the sportshow this afternoon, I could be happy in any of about 10 boats I looked at. Granted, I am already thinking of upgrading the fishing Toon ahead of the boat. Not in a big hurry, but after last summer, I noticed just how darn much I was on the Toon compared to the Fisherman (minimum of one adult and two kids on 90% of trips, this goes up to 2 adults and 4 kids on about 60% of the trips). I don't think the fishing boat hit the water more than 10 times after the end of May. And probably 4 of them were because the Toon was in getting a new powerhead. Some of those fishing pontoons sporting 200 HP had me drooling. So this spring will be the litmus test for me, do I get out enough to justify boat shopping (I've had this one for 12 years). Or...do I keep my powder dry until I see a different Toon I want as an upgrade? If the boat gets relegated to just spring fishing, I could probably run it for another 10 years. I sure do like the new Lund Tyee GLs though. Some of that is brand loyalty, I've always loved the Lund lineup.
