| Checked one out tonight, I thought Lund as far as the layout. Pretty pricey for what it is I think. |
|
| |
|
Location: Rhinelander | It's a nice rig, definitely a hybrid of the best features in other aluminums. Looks solid, the graphics are nice, and the interior pretty snappy. Not sure about the money, but if there's a Verado in the price, that has alot to do with the sticker. |

| The one I saw was at Outdoorama in Michigan. They had it priced at $49,900 with a 200 ETEC. |

| Had a nice long conversation with kevin about the boat it has alot of good features and he is really looking foward to fishing out of it this season.He said that he will be putting a 225 E-TEC on it can't wait to see that fly across the water.When you think about the price and the way the boat is rigged it does compair well with all of the other tournament series rigs. |

Location: Sheboygan,WI | In my opinion there is no aluminum boat made worth over $49,000. I also saw the boat today and thought it looked great but for that kind of money you can purchase a top of the line Glass boat. There is nothing wrong with aluminum boats but you can get a great aluminum tournament rig for alot less. |

| I don't know who saw a Polar kraft with a price tag of $49,000 but it just ain't true. I worked in the Pharo Marine booth this weekend and my boat pictured (boat only, no motors, no trailer, nothing) would sell from Pharo at $12,000. Thats what I was told by the Pharo Marine Manager with the owner Bill standing right next to him. Call Pharo and ask. Anything above that would involve all of your non-Polar kraft additions. What would a similar Lund, Crestliner, Tracker sell for?????(Boat only) The Polar Kraft is 19ft. 10in. |

Location: upper michigan | the reason i am asking is we have a a 225 motor and kicker motor but no boat as of now this price of $12,000 looks pretty interesting |
|
| |
|
Location: Rhinelander | At $12000 for the boat with a high quality custom like a Vanguard tandem with brakes, spare, carrier, and chrome, a 225 Opti w/stainless prop, rigging, 9.9 Pro Kicker, and $2500 worth of electronics, the sell price at a normal margin would be about $36500 no tax, title or license. |

Location: Westland, MI. | Hey Fellas, Be very careful here. The PRO boat is not like the other boat. Different features for touring pros than the regular 19. The one at the Outdoorama was Lance Valentine's boat, and had a rating sticker for only a 200. So Kevin, if you're going to run a 225 E-Tec, you better beef that transom or something because if you're boat is different than Lance's, than Lance got short changed. And that boat had a sticker AS SEEN, 49,900. That's pretty steep. |

| Of course, the dealer can charge whatever he wants, so the price thatr one dealer is asking doesn't set the price for that boat...shop around.

| I am not a dealer and perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned any price at all. Even though that is what was relayed to me. To my knowledge the only difference between the Pro-staff model 1910 and the consumer model is the paint scheme and the motor rating. I made my comments regading Rob Strattons statement that he saw a 1910 in Michigan with a price tag of $49,000 with a 200 ETEC. That is not totally accurate either. That was for everything on and in the boat as Lance has already explained in detail. That's like saying I seen a Chevy Silverado at a show in Detroit with a 350 engine that listed for $100,000.00 but it isn't exactly accurate unless I tell you it had a $20,000.00 Sony entertainment system in it, gold laden aftermarket rims, ect...ect.. The Point I was simply trying to make is that the Polar kraft 1910 is one of the most economically priced, well built boats in its class. If anyone is interested, they should check with an authorized dealer. Sorry about the confusion. |

| How is it that the pro's boats are outfitted with 225's and the consumers boats are rated for 200's? Is there a difference in the hulls? The reason I ask is this, if the boats are rated by the Coast Gaurd for 200's, and the pro's have 225's, would those boats be legal? I believe someone said that the boat had a sticker on it for a 200 rating.
If the boats were approved for a 225 rating, and the maker is only putting stickers on them for 200, Why? |

| I have a question. What are the differences between the boat at the show and the production model that makes the HP rating higher? |
