Lund - sending back to factory
Anyone here ever send their Lund back to the factory for repairs. I have to do so and I'm a bit nervous about it. The dealer has to de-rig the engine which, scares me. Also, I'm nervous about what can happen to the boat while in transit. I just want my boat back with everything fixed.
I would appreciate feedback from somone out there that has been through this. Thanks, Tom

Years ago I had a Pro V that had some floor issues and it had to go back. I felt the same as you about sending it. I actually took it to the dealer, had them remove the motor, and I trailered the boat to New York Mills myself. I went back to pick it up also. It cost me time and money, but saved peace of mind..

I had to send my Lund back to the factory twice. Both time's I sent it back in the fall and was told that it would be back by March. Both time's it was late, the second time it was 6 week's late. Other than being late I didn't have any problem's.

Thanks for the input fellas.......I have been inconvenienced enough and do not want anymore. If I send the boat back in early December I feel I should have it back by March. I surely do not want to miss out on any more fishing. Do you think it would help if I send it back with a case of beer for the workers? I'm seriously considering doing it.

I haven't had to send mine back, but I have several friend that have. Since the Mills is close, they trailer it there. Quite often they wait a couple hours and bring it home with them. I can't ever recall it being more than a few days. It may depend on what your having done.

Good Experience
My Lund Explorer was shipped back to the factory to be repainted after the first year I owned it. I took care of the derigging except for the motor. It left in December and I got it back in late April. Even though it was very stressful for me at first, it was nothing less than a good experience for me. I even reused the high quality shrink wrap it was coverd with for two winters.

A friend of mine had to send a boat back he talked to the factory and asked when a load was being delivered to the area if he could have it returned on that truck and they worked it out. That was some years ago but you might want to give it a try.
