Hi Barry, The Izumi editions of the Lund boats you are asking about are built in Canada At the Steinbach plant. There is both a Bob and Wayne model. The difference I believe is one has a single consul and the other a double consul. These boats are built on the what I believe to be a fisherman series hull. I can not find this boat in the new Canadian catalog only the Bob Edition, both boats were basicaly the same. The dimensions of the 2000 Bob are:
Length 16'11"
width: 89" and it weighs in at 1056lbs, has a max hp rating of 120 hp, free board thickness is .063 and the bottom is .080 with a .063 twin plate. As well as having a built in 18 gallon fuel tank.
Those are the basic numbers and as for performance I have very little to go on other than the Fisherman series boats are real good sellers here in Canada. They are also a very affordable mid-line multi purpose series.
I hope this helps a bit. I will continue looking for the 1999 catalog with it in there and relay the info to you.
Good Fishin'

i currently own the wayne izumi with a 90hp yamaha. i bought it in the spring of 98 and have been quite happy with it. i had alittle warranty work done the first fall but since then there has been nothing go wrong with it. believe me i spent alot of time researching before i purchased this unit and when it came down to spending hard earned dollars i could not find anything of equal value with the same features. where are you from because i know a dealer close by with a 98 model with a yamaha 115 and is willing to deal.
