Finally! Thank you for posting. There's a lot of dealer/sales videos and Lund videos, however not a lot of videos from owners with honest reviews & with actual on the water footage. Awesome video! I've been looking at the Fury for a long time. I'm sorry that you encountered some quality issues and disappointments with some of the fit and finishes, however overall, it seems like it fits your needs, which are very similar to mine. Stability, floor space, room for two, size, storage, nice ride (balancing aside). If you don't mind me asking, how would you rate the front casting deck, both sitting and casting from? You appeared pretty stable on it when landing your fish. Thx
Thank you for this review!! I just bought a 2015 Fury Tiller with a 25 HP Mercury and this has answered a lot of questions for me! I love some of the mods you have done to your boat and I will do something similar to fit my needs. Thanks again!!
Jeff Pinette Its the factory prop, 10p. It takes a few seconds to get up where I want it. I really don’t mind it though, I think the all around performance is good for me.
@@outdoortradesman142appreciate the video. One thing you can do to maximize that little outboard.. go to your local hardware store and get a handful of wooden paint stir sticks, their 1/8” thick each. Lift your outboard up off the transom and insert 2 stir stick between motor and transom. Tighten motor back down and take it for a spin. Keep adding stir sticks until when you either take 10:14 off or turn a corner and the prop starts to slip (cavitate) then at that point, remove that last stir stick. Whatever combined thickness you have with all those sticks, cut a piece of white oak or similar and that sir will be the very best any outboard will run with a particular hull. I guarantee you’ll pick up RPM and MPH. Too much drag in current form because the outboard cavitation plate is too low causing drag. We want the prop as high in the water column as we can get it before cavitation. How do you think racing boats are set up. Now you know. Once you do this little trick you’ll never just drop an outboard onto the transom of a boat again without shimming it up. Let us know how you make out. Good luck
Have you checked to see if your cavitation plate is flush with the bottom of your boat. These boats are know to have performance issues without the perfect motor height. Everyone I know with a Lund has had to use a long shaft motor with a jack plate to adjust it to fix the issue. I have a similar issue with an older tracker. My transom is 15” or 20” standard heights for short shaft or long shaft outboards. It’s 18.5” so a short shaft is too short and a long shaft too long.
Now that you mention it I could see that being an issue however for me it only becomes an issue when hard turning at full throttle. I have thought that before that it seems a little short but a long would be too long. It doesn’t really create too many issues for me that aren’t manageable. I may revisit when I either put a larger motor but at that point our family may be larger and I would need a bigger boat.

Thank you for the comment and for watching! The front casting area is perfectly adequate and stable. No complaints there.

Thanks for watching!
It's a beauty! I have a 2002 and I love that thing
What prop are you running? Does it take awhile to plane out?

@@FYMM69that sounds like a really good idea. Thanks
@@sirfishalot923 try it once and you’ll never hang an outboard without first doing the shim method

Do you have a link to the trailer steps?
The small step came from amazon maxxhaul and the double step came from overtons.
Do you have a link to the third step? The all black one that's on the tounge?
Get your wife a seat, dude! LOL
Haha, we have it, she doesn’t like it and prefers the floor, so now we leave it at home. It was just in the way
