I am considering this boat as my next one. Interested in hearing from people who have one the pro/cons of the Yukon. It seems very similar to the Lund Alaskan.

Thanks

If you search for the AlumaCraft Voyageur its the Same boat with a different interior. Very dry Ride, probably Driest of all aluminum boats.....Very Solid ride, NO Wood in transom or Storage boxes or Lids.....A great boat that should have a Leg up on the Competition

Thanks for the reply, they seem to be an alternative to the Lund Alaskan at a better price point.

When I asked the big Alumacraft dealer near me about it this spring, they had to search and search to even find the price for it. Apparently Alumacraft targets it primarily towards the resort market. One of the things I like about it is the four pedestals going right down the center, allowing four guys to fish either side of the boat. It used to be that you could find 16 foot boats setup like this (the Alumacraft Lunker was one), but now it's either just three or one in back, one in the bow, and two side by side in the middle.

I like the boat, but was hoping because of its bare bones nature, it could come in a few thousand cheaper than it did. Still cheaper than the Alaskan, but still higher than I'd like for a no-frills boat.
