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.
