Lund Tyee vs Lund Fisherman - Advice Needed

[TrueNorth33]

Looking to buy a walleye/lake trout fishing boat and would like your input. I'm looking at a Lund 2075 Tyee Magnum and 2075 Lund Fisherman. I like these models due to the higher wall at the back as I do fish in Lake Superior which can get large waves. The question comes with the motors available, the Tyee can have a 250HP and the Fisherman max HP is 200HP. Will I sacrifice too much with the lower top speed in the Fisherman? I have to run 15 miles to get to the big lake. I will do probably 50/50 inland Lake/Lake Superior fishing. Thanks for your input!

I don't think that would make a big difference. Try calling Lund and ask why they have different hp limits. Hull design or strength???

It is always better to have an overpowed boat than and underpowered boat.

Thanks, will look into that!

I have been tuning non-fishy boats for a long time and I would suggest buying a boat that does not have a totally painted bottom. An aluminum boat that is totally painted and with a modern outboard that has too much anode surface area will actually repel fish. I have helped too many guys with that exact scenario to be wrong. Your catch ratio will go down by 2/3 and you will mark less fish on your sounder. I have sold my voltage tuned lure business (Lurecharge) to one of my customers, but am staying on as technical advisor. This is an absolutely free service. Al
