Fish out of and operate a 219 yar and 2075 pro v allot this summer along with mine.Best bang for the buck new is a skeeter 2060 with that 250 SHO probably the best outboard out there in my opinion.If you want to go fast as hell and take on big waves at speed the big yars are hard to beat and the fit and finish of the new ones built by basscat are right up there with Ranger. My only gripe with the Yar is when you hang a 350 off a jackplate its really tough to keep a 72 inch shaft in the water when the wind starts coming up. Oh and good luck trying to keep a limit of fish alive in the livewells. I fell in love with the Lund at first and it gets up and moves as well with that verado. Tracks like its on rails and could care less where the trim is when you slow down or speed up. And I've never seen fish come out of a livewell at the end of the day with more spunk than in that Lund 'bring a club for the cleaning station!" But again get in some waves and the thing bobs up and down terrible even with the 72 in shaft. Being a live baiter this is a big deal for me, can't stand not being able to fish where you need to go because of waves.I really like the fit and finish of the rangers and i'd love to have a newer one but at the price they want I will have to wait a couple years. Wouldn't mind getting into a 621. Ranger is slower but it has a heavy front end that cut through the waves well at speed and they just plain stick when the waves start getting big. Might take a wave over the front once in a while but its hard to get even a 60 inch shaft out of the water and that I like. Just wish the seats and windshield were a little taller on the rangers myself. Never been in a bigger glass lund but they look to be built well, never here guys complain about the 20+ foot ones. And they get up and go well also. Never been in a new warrior, they are built well from what I hear and take on waves like no other and that big windshield has got to keep you dry. But they are slower and kind of look like a tug boat to me.. I kid I kid!  Jump style seats in the back can be nice to have, leaves the back of the boat wide open without the seats. Never thought I'd like the boxed in stuff  like ranger and triton but after you have them and the storage its not a bad trade either. But if I had kids and family in the boat allot I'd probably stick to something with jump seats myself. And I'm a Yamaha fan, have had 11 of them "all used"and have never been to a shop..no joke. Good luck with your boat search lots to choose from!</blockquote>
