I already ordered a White/Pewter Lund. Please don't get me second guessing myself again! :-(

Great choice! I've had the color on my 2001 2025 and have never regretted it!

EASY CHOICE!! Match it to your tow vehicle. When I retired 5 years ago, I bought a blue and silver Ford F-150, also bought a blue and silver Lund. Two years ago I bought another Lund, yes, blue and silver.

White with silver bottom, it gives you charcoal interior that doesn't show dirt and the white doesn't
show water spots. The only problem is you stick out like a sore thumb on the lake. You can't hide.

There are a bunch of Walleye Central boat photos online already (from Perchjerker's web site):

Really was convinced all along that the white over pewter or silver with grey vinyl and galvanized trailer and honda's was going to be it. Recently I been thinking about matching more to my truck which is almost exactly the same as the graphite freeboard -- over silver bottom.......and then there is the green too. My kids want red and blue !

thanks for the pics - I'll look at PJ's site again - it's been a while.

I have the green interior and it shows the dirt bad. Oh well, it gives me an excuse to vacuum more often. Now (after about 4+ years) I put in a indoor/outdoor pc of carpet, almost the same color as the original and cut it so I can lift the compartment doors etc. Seems to work well in protecting the original carpet. I have yet to have to deal with rain though (as I usually do in Canada when the boat sits outside for a week). I hope the new carpet drains well and dries well. The extra weight can make a difference. I can always remove it too until it dries and to allow the original carpet to dry too.

I have a White/Pewter Fisherman ordered but no pics yet. I went with the tan carpet mainly because I have 2 Goldens that are with me on many fishing trips. They are the same color of the carpet. If I had black labs I might have went with the White/silver/grey carpet option. I saw a White and pewter fisherman on Mille Lacs last year with a black Suzuki and it looked pretty sharp.

The snow is melting fast in MN.

Well, it sounds like you have to look cool!! I will repeat, MATCH the boat with the TOW vehicle!! Anything else is called CLASH!!

I have an '03 Pro V with midnight star (gray) carpet, and an '04 Tyee with antelope carpet. I've found the antelope carpet to be a little light -- shows dirt (especially mud and fish blood) much worse than the gray carpet. Kinda like having very light carpet in your house -- it's only time until it's gonna look bad. Antelope is much more elegant looking, but is that a priority?? My Pro V with gray carpet is very hard to get dirty -- mud and blood don't show up very easy, and even light stuff like dust, junk from trees, and sand don't show easy. The primary color of both my boats is black, very sharp in my opinion, but water spots are an issue, you need to clean more often to keep looking good. Helps to wax them (I've been using car wax).

I too have a 2001 Pro-V in white and pewter and love it. Never looks dirty, well, looks cleaner than any color I had before.

The carpet is a pain to keep looking new but I power wash it a couple times a summer and it looks great. Of course, in 2002 I had to buy a matching pewter pickup!

GREAT CHOICE!

Classic Lund Red/Pewter with the Antelope Carpet. Carpet does tend to show the dirt, but it cleans up well. Matching Eagle trailer with pewter graphics. Tow vehicle is Dark Torreador Red with Tan accent paint. Looks like a matched pair. There is a pic on PJ's website. I will put one in my photo album here.

Tight Lines All,

I just got a call from the dealer and my boat is in. White/Pewter 1700 fisherman with pewter Eagle trailer. My truck is red but there is a little red in the boat.

I can't afford a new truck :(

I have a 1675 Lund Explorer with Antelope carpet and it is not that hard to keep clean. A good power wash a few times during the summer has kept it looking good. What I would really like is snap-in carpet over vinyl on my next boat.

It must be nice to have 2 Lunds!
Good fishin!

My last 4 were black and quicksilver. I thought it matched my hair pretty well. My wife said " If that is the case...the next one should be white and silver".....So, I have white and silver now.

I bought the blue/pewter antelope interior. It is real nice looking new, but the water spots are bad...get the white and gray or pewter!! I thought my sales person was on drugs when he said white is real popular, now I know why. Now that I have seen the white it is really nice looking. A white boat looks good with any tow vehicle.

My .02... can you get dark brown carpet? That would be better, the stains are bad, especially blood on mine.
