cygnus Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Hey guys. I'm in the market for a new boat. Leaning towards a Lund Explorer or possibly the new Impact. I want the boat with an E-tec, not a Merc. My local dealer more or less turned me away when I said I wanted an E-tec, but after speaking with a rep from Lund at least years boat show, I know the boats can be had with any engine. Does anyone know of some Lund dealers in WI that are willing to accomdate me? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregg52 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 you got the e-tec part right !!!! now get yourself a Yar Craft and you will be a proud man!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Any dealer should put that motor on that boat but you will get charged for taking the old controls off and putting new ones on. Just get the Mercury 4 stroke its basically a Yamaha anyways. By the way I have a 17' Explorer and really like it. I have to take a look at that other boat. Oh and dont listen to greg he only knows Yar Craft and E-Techs. I will say I would run a Yar Craft but never a E-tech. Sorry Greg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solbes Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Probably doesn't help you as you're in WI, but you can get an Etec Lund combo at Nelson Marine in White Bear Lake, Mn. I went Yammy, but Etec was a very close 2nd. They will charge you a rigging fee for removing Merc controls and adding Etec. It was $250 for me, which was not that big of a deal to get the combo I wanted. I think Rapid might do it here in the TC too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregg52 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 if you live in wisc you should be able to find a Yar Craft dealer They are made in WAUSAU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnum mike Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Order your boat from the dealer - factory direct without controls. I have an E-Tec on my 1800 Alaskan. Absolutely love the combo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
