| I am looking at the Ranger Reata 1850 and the Lund Tyee 186 GL. I mostly fish Green Bay some Lake Michigan and small lakes with the kids. I was wondering if anyone has feedback on either boat. Is a 150 motor big enough for each? Can I launch these boats in shallow water that I encounter on most inland lakes? |

| I have sold both.
These are both good "Fish/Play" models. A 150 does a good job on them... although they are both rated for 175 now.
They'll be a bit tougher launching on very flat ramps...,being they sit on bunk trailers.
You might also consider the Lund 186 ProV (was 186GL Fisherman...now renamed).
I like it best, myself ...more of an uncompromised fishing type layout.
The 186 Lund GLs are a bit taller than the Reatas.
Hopefully you can run both before you decide...?

| Best thing to do is to test drive both, put them thru their paces, very speeds. There wont be allot of difference in speed I suspect between the 175 and 150 and that my depend on which model Pro XS 175 vs Standard Opti 150 probably a noticeable diff. It appears that the Lund is a little deeper so it may handle big waves better. I run a 19' Tuffy and it handled GB just fine. |

| Those are both good boats. But make sure you look at the skeeter 1825 or 1850 Love the layout of the Skeeters. |
