hey man, since you have that 35 on the back then i would say yes, makes things a undersized easier when fishing from the front. if the one you have a tiller control. if so until you get another one if you want just take out the bolt that holds the head

Crestliner and Lund: Minnesota Nice | features.boats.com

But Crestliner came first, founded as the Aluminum Boat Enterprise in 1946 in Not any Falls, Minn., about an hour’s compel from Mille Lacs Lake, the walleye money of the sphere. Howard Lund built himself an aluminum skiff in 1948, and drove around New York Mills, Minn., with the boat on the roof of his car until a salesman from the urban district saw it and ordered 50 copies.

Over the years Lund and Crestliner have competed for the hearts of inexperienced-unstintingly anglers with boats that were always built to last a lifetime. Or longer. There’s more than one fisherman still trolling in grandpa’s boat. Both companies have dabbled with confused good in other markets, but the inform woolly has stayed on aluminum fishing boats.

That’s toned down today, as Lund and Crestliner, formerly Genmar brands, have been sister companies in the Brunswick Boat Clique since 2004.

And they’ll be like sisters sharing an apartment later this year, as Brunswick relocates Crestliner construction from Minuscule Falls to New York Mills, where the two brands will be built under one roof. The move is driven by the contemporaneous conciseness, as both plants have been under-utilized. Brunswick has made it apparent, however, the each maker will contain its individual devise and be built on its own crow's-foot. Lund with rivets, Crestliner welded, of direction. Both brands will bid new models for 2011 aimed at a decrease value-burden, boats that will be easier to leverage and more affordable to own over the hunger run, which is by a hair's breadth what we distress these days.
