Lund Boats

[Billfo]

Ok here I go replying to post that is nearly a year old.. LOL !!! Nice looking Lund, I hope it has been all you wanted it to be. I have had a 85 Ranger 340V, a 90 Stratos 18' bassboats & loved them both.. BUT now that I am a bit older & a bit more unstable "physically"- I have a Lund 1800 Adventure (18'6") w/ 130 Optimax. I have taken the "Bill Dance old man approach" to fishing.. I tossed the but pedestal seat & use the off set short shaft with one of the passenger fold down seats.. I also use a 24V hand controlled bow mount trolling motor.. On Table Rock I have taken on some pretty good waves, and being seated most of the time, have never felt like I was going in the drink !I have not run aground on Table Rock yet dispite my deep V. I also like the Lund for the tons of storage and ya gotta love that top when theres a bit too much sun or some rain.. Im not a serious fisherman as I once wanted to be, but im just happy to be on the water.. IF I catch something like I did in my avatar picture- even better !

I have purchased a 2008 Lund 1750 Outfitter in August of 2009. This is a deep V style boat. I have been looking for a boat for the last five or six years and have always kept Lund in the for-front of my mind as what I was looking for. I could have not been more right about doing so. I found this boat at a dealer in O'Fallon, ILL. A demo model from Lund, this thing was ready to fish. 50HP two stroke Mercury, 55lbs Motor Guide wireless 12 volt trolling motor, two Lawrance depth finders ( one full color with GPS and the other B&W), Galvanized trailer, biminy top and cover, four seats and on board charging system for under $20,000.00.

I have had the boat out about a half a dozen times on three different bodies of water, Taneycomo, Lake of the Ozarks and Mark Twain Lake and have not been disappointed any time. This boat is very easy to launch and put on a trailer for one person. When running on the lake she gets up on plain quick and easy. Controlling the boat when fishing is like a dream, she goes where you want her to go. 55lbs. of thrust is plenty of power for the trolling motor to control the boat even in the wind.

This boat has a 77 inch beam at the stern, which is pretty wide for a 17.5ft. boat. This makes the boat very stable. Lost of storage for what ever your type of fishing. A large, divided live well to keep your catch fresh. I can not say enough about my Lund but I will stop by saying, I will have this boat for years to come.

Billfo,

Nice boat! What body of water do you normaly fish? I have manly been to Tanycomo in Branson. My father lives in Springfield and he like going with me and the dog. Plus I have a place to stay for free. Hope you enjoy your Lund as much as the dog and I am enjoying mine.

Lund boat is fishing-oriented and affordable as compared to other boats.
