Wood in boats =rot eventually.

Many Lund models are wood free.
Some since the 2016 model year.

Which ones? I thought 17 is when they changed the transoms over.Not a lund expert but would like to know.

Lots of new boats on the market these days in both aluminum and glass models that use 0 wood in their construction.

No need to purchase future troubles.

You may not be a "Lund expert"... but you have always been pretty darn astute.
You are correct...2017 saw a lot of models switched away from wood. None have wood transoms the past few years but that was phased in 2016-2017-2018. model years (The skiffs were last to switch)
However, the aluminum Bass models have never had any wood in (came out in 2106)
The Renegades have Aluminum transoms, The Pro V Bass models have composite.
The glass Lunds have never had wood.

As mentioned nothing has wood transoms anymore.
Nowadays the Alaskans and fishboats can be purchased with no wood floors/seats if you wish. .. with lifetime warranty on either...whether you choose wood or composite .


PS: Are you running Evinrude nowadays...K?
