Speaking of big water aluminum boats, this list would not be complete without the legendary 2275 Baron, Lund’s flagship fishing boat model—and unarguably the biggest and baddest aluminum boat on the market right now.
At almost 23’ long and featuring Lund’s IPS2 hull design, which provides you with superior handling in the most aggressive conditions, the Baron can handle anything you throw at it—perfect for large lakes and rough waters.
Having 12 passengers is crazy and only possible because of the wide beam and smart storage compartments.
Standard features include a port rod storage as well as a center rod locker, a bow and aft livewell, hydraulic tilt steering, a Kicker stereo with two speakers, four cockpit seats along with two rear jump seats, and loads of storage compartments throughout the boat.
The Baron 2275 also comes with Lund’s exclusive Sportrak system, which lets you position your rods and downriggers all around the boat without having to drill any holes as well as the ProLong Plus Livewell System.
Equipped with spray-down hose on the port side, aft, fishing gear or even plates form lunch will get a bath, keeping grime and guts on the outside.
This model is rated for a 400 horsepower motor and when combined with the power strake, it tears up the water.
