A.J. I really enjoy your videos! You have been instrumental in my decision regarding purchasing this boat. Lund has really figured out weight distribution with the fuel and trolling batteries further forward. I am thinking that this boat can probably slip in and out of coves and shallow flats with ease. Once again, beautiful boat, and thanks for your efforts to bring it public.

I see you flush mounted your fish finders are there any drawbacks from doing so ? I was tossing between a ram mount and flush mounting
@AjLynn45thParallelFishing6 жыл бұрын
A few thoughts on the flush mounts; First, I don't fish competitively so the bow & console units are sufficiently effective. I really do prefer a 'clean' deck up forward as well as the flush mount at the console which allows for Max visibility on plane - Down side to any flush mount (which is real) is that if the unit(s) needs to be repaired, it's a PIA to remove it. But, so far so good. Also going flush mount limits screen size to whatever will fit - I'm running 2 Helix 10 SI GPS KVD units & added a trolling motor mounted 360 imaging last fall - pretty sweet.
@ggiconsulting60606 жыл бұрын
Sounds like a sweet set up you have , I was thinking the same I like a clean looking boat that’s why I’m leaning towards the flush mounts I just pick up a raymarine axiom 9 rv and the same unit in a 7 inch for the bow I wish I could go with 10 inch but everything cost a lot more in Canada lol I have 6 to 8 more weeks to go before I get delivery of my boat. I love your talons on your boat I’m going to have to wait until next year before I can manage that.
@ggiconsulting60606 жыл бұрын
Hi Aj question about your talons did you mount them directly to your transom ? I was thinking about getting them but I was concerned about drilling holes into a new boat lol I have seen guys tie them in with there jack plate. Also do the talons weight a lot I’m not sure if it will but me over my limit for the transom weight capacity my motors weight in at 537 lb

Hi AJ, this is a great boat. I think I have found the boat I need. I have recently retired and am looking for a boat. I have two questions. (1.) I am a crappie fisherman and want to get into more bass, walleye and Muskie, Do you feel your boat is a good choice for this kind of fishing? (2.) I really like the 1875, but I would like a front deck that I could have two seats on it. Can you get the 1875 with two seats on the front deck? I live in the upper Midwest and would be fishing small to medium size lakes. Probably not Lake Michigan or Erie.
@AjLynn45thParallelFishing2 жыл бұрын
Hi Ron ~ Congrats on your retirement. I mainly bass fish. I have done some walleye fishing but this rig is not the best for slow trolling if that is part of your deal. I don't target musky or crappie. As for 2 seats on the front deck of this rig - you'd have to do it yourself. To the best of my knowledge these boats are only offered in this configuration.

Great review. Did you have the talons mounted directly to the hull or to a motor mount sandwich bracket? If so has that been OK. Also, did you get the tilt bracket? Thanks
@AjLynn45thParallelFishing6 жыл бұрын
Thanks John . . Yes I had the dealer mount them to the transom. There were some warranty issues / concerns with Mercury Marine if the Talons were mounted to a plate between the motor & the hull. Don't know if that's been rectified or not. Either way the hull mount has been good. ***** Very Important note ****** ALL the Mounting Hardware / Bolts Must Must Must be through mounted and not just screwed into the hull ! If they are not secured on the back side they WILL PULL OUT. Not Good. Access to through mount them is a little bit of a PIA - but simply Must be done. I love the Talons, besides keeping me on fish, they make SOLO launch & Recovery of the Pro-V VERY EASY. I did get the tilt brackets to make in & out of my boat garage possible - Additionally, there is a 6 inch 'spacer' (minn kota accessory) between the hull & the tilt brackets - it's needed to allow sufficient space for the tilt bracket to clear the transom and be lowered all the way to the deck. You're getting some great info here - :c)
@johndeluca87796 жыл бұрын
Thanks! I really appreciate your detailed reply and advice. I had a dealer mount one 11’ Talon on my Predator and they used the sandwich bracket. Maybe when I did this there wasn’t an issue with the Merc warranty. I too love the single Talon and think the twin will be a big upgrade. Thanks again.

Great rig Aj. I've been looking at these Lund's for a month. Your review was the best. I would like to see it run in 2-3 footers. The 2075 is the one I'm looking at. Do you get 61 mph out of it. I'm have a 20' bullet and looking to go back to aluminum. My 1st boat was a Lund. What's up with the Sox hat. I'm from the Boston area. No real Lund dealers around hear. They have a couple but they don't stock any of these models so I don't think they are qualified to set it up like yours. Power poles, extra battery and so on. May one from your guys out there. Thanks

What you see here is what I have as far as running the Lund on the water. So far the Pro-V has done been very capable and it's done everything I've asked it to do. I am confident that this will continue. As for running on plane or cresting 3 ft waves - as a 28 year USCG veteran, with a couple of decades of boat handling experience in weather you're not likely to ever see (except in a nightmare perhaps) I can tell you that this is the vessel I trust my life with now.

Sorry this response is a little late - I was on Lake Baccarac in Mexico Last week hammering Huge Bass, , , The ultrex was not out yet when I first bought this boat. I'd consider the spot lock but until the talons at not able to meet my needs - I'm good right there. I also keep the Lund in a garage - so I got the Minn Kota Tilt brackets installed. Works well to reduce the rigs overall height to were the motor is the highest point...

After 28 years in the U S Coast Guard, most of which was driving boats in the surf doing Search & Rescue, I'll tell you that any 18 foot boat's ability to safely navigate 5 foot waves depends a lot on the driver. This boat has an excellent design & High freeboard which helps in rough water - but unless you really know what your doing, doesn't belong in 5 foot waves.

@AjLynn45thParallelFishing7 жыл бұрын
No doubt the 2075 is a sweet rig but No - The 1875 slides into my boat garage like it was made for it - and the 2075 would not fit. Additionally, I fish solo a good majority of the time. Launching & recovering the 1875 by myself is quite do-able. The larger the boat the more challenging that gets. Not saying I couldn't do it - but I don't really need to as this one suits my needs & the waters I fish.
