LUND boats offers a military discount on the purchase of a new boat. Discount varies by model.

That's huge, to coin a phase. Thank you. Maybe we'll hear from others at/after the boat show next week.
Now is a good tim e for any dealers/ mfg to let us know here.

Lund boats are unbelievably expensive, like you can pay $30,000 for an 18' Lund aluminum boat, motor, and trailer. Plus they come with very ugly graphics on the outside of the hull which permanently turns it into a Lund billboard. Unlike Alumacraft, Starcraft and other aluminum boats, Lund is welded as opposed to riveted .... does it make any difference?

Lund is made by the same company that makes Mercury outboards, so you can never get a new Lund with an Evinrude, Honda, Yamaha, or Suzuki outboard.

Having said that, I have a Lund 11' jon boat, purchased used for $400 with oars and oar locks, and it rows fantastic and weighs just 85-lbs.

Pretty much all of what you said is completely FALSE. I suggest you actually look on LUND's website before you start throwing bogus information out there.
