21 FT LUND BARRON

[aqua lung]

Hey guys wondering if any of u guys have them? Love em? Any major problems? Transom? Don't know a whole lot about  Lunds but gunna start some research now. Is a 140hp mercruiser  I/o. Thanks for the help guys

We have a 2007 Lund Baron 2150 Grand Sport (that's the outboard model) with a 250 Mercury Verado and a Honda kicker.  Bought it new in 07.  We love it, and it's aging very well, especially for how much we use it.  It has handled any water.  Lake St Clair, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, Georgian Bay, St Lawrence River and our smaller local lakes.

Great boat but I would want the outboard as well

[Iceman]

_{Sounds  underpowered.}

What is the one with a cabin

[Nontypical]

Ya A 140 would be way to small to push that boat at any decent speed. Those are big well built boats. Minimum 175hp id say.

What is the one with a cabin

Baron Magnum overnighter. They only built them 2 years. Mine is a '97 outboard. Love it, fishes like a much larger boat.

[Skidplate]

So that's why I can't find any pictures of one or a older one to for sale?I was told they my a grand Barron is that true?

Here's a few pics of ours. I would also agree that a 140 sounds underpowered. Ours does a little over 50 with the 250.

Okay thanks for comments guys i will take the underpowered advice and pass.Really like the boat and at 3k looks like a great deal. Im just not into long slow boat rides. The search continues..................................

[Skidplate]

Did you ask how fast it goes

[aqua lung]

Gunna call guy this evening. Spec say boat weighs in around 2700lbs vs out board 1700lbs. Hopefully 25 mph plus would work for me.

[Ivan]

Not sure about those specs.  Our dry weight (boat only) is approx 2200lbs. Verado is about 700lbs. Kicker 150lbs, plus a couple guys, gear, and 78 gallons of fuel puts you around 4000lbs. Specs may have changed some depending on what year it is.  I know the new ones are bigger than our 07.

 

I'd guess about 30mph or so.

Who needs to go over 30-35? Half the time it's too rough to go full bore in an aluminum boat. A lot of the big charter boats top out at 25.

[devilfishIII]

Under powered isn't bad IMO, u can troll down better and troll at higher rpm. You pry can't get a 20 ft boat on plane with 2 ft plus waves anyways(75% of the time). I've fished boats that cruise at 12, they'll get u there and fuel efficient

[BAZOOKAJOE]

I guess a lot depends on how much weight you plan on carrying.

[markdaniel]

I had a 2003 Lund Baron with a 150 hp 4 stroke Mercury and easily reached speeds of 35+ mph without breaking a sweat. 

[MCF]

It is the minimum range for that boat. I had a 22 sylvan for 8 years with the 130 I/0-top speed 32-33, which is fine for most days. At the end of the day or the end of a trip was the plus for the day, a fill-up didn't cost a small fortune and that was trolling with the I/O. To each there own because I have also had some very quick boats over the years.

[tbamniagara]

I saw the listing for the boat your looking at. The motor box takes up space. Plus the I/o needs winterizing compared to outboard. I wouldn't say under powered, but adequate. I passed on the boat due to space and maint. It is a good price though. I have a lund 1900 pro v with a 200 Yamaha and kicker and fish the big water a lot. I can handle 2-3' waves running 15-20mph. top trimmed out speed is 57mph on flatter water.

[aqua lung]

I was supposed to be first to look at it  today and some guy bought it over the phone without even looking at it. I will continue to look for similar style boats.

[markdaniel]

There is a hot market for used Lund Barons right now.  I sold mine this spring and had multiple offers on it.  New ones are running 70K plus. 

[longbow]

I fished this past Sat. with Holy Mackerel, in his Lund.  The Big O was to say the least SNOTTY!  Might be biggest waves I have fished on Lake Ontario in my short fishing career.  Stayed high and dry in Mackerel's Red Baron.  Didn't get beat up at all.  That boat is hooked up too.  Very nice fishing platforms.  thanks
