Kestrel Take
A premium aluminum multi-species fishing boat — Lund's reputation for tough, dry-riding welded-aluminum hulls makes the Pro-V a favorite for walleye and big-water anglers. Aluminum resists the stress cracks fiberglass can get, but the outboard, transom, and electronics still need scrutiny. A documented, well-kept Pro-V is a durable, capable fishing rig with strong resale; the outboard health is the key check.
What we checked
Not checked against public records
Boats are the Coast Guard’s, not NHTSA’s. It publishes a Cases and Campaigns file, but its model and year fields are free text and the recent entries are mostly hull-ID and capacity-label paperwork, so we have not been able to join it to a specific boat honestly yet. What follows is our own write-up, and it has not been reconciled against an official record. Treat it as a starting point, not a verdict.
