2018 Lund Impact XS Review - After One Season!

[@Shadowtech2024]

Got an 1875 Impact. Great boat. I also installed the Fulton Trailer Jack with the bigger wheel 👍👍👍. So much easier to roll.

[@bradbernst1113]

I bought a Impact 1775 with 115 Pro XS single console and absolutely love it.

[@sunrise7ranch85]

THANK YOU very much for this video. VERY informative from the perspective of an actual user. As I'm sure you know, this is the only real "review" of an 1875 Impact XS on youtube. There are several dealer videos and they do a good job but the one you made showing it rigged and stocked is a whole 'nother level buddy. I have been agonizing over the Impact XS vs Pro V and this video helped me FINALLY make up my mind. Im SOLD Impact XS being exactly what I need for fishing/family. Thanks again for the video and I subscribed.

[@OBOUTDOOR]

Josh_Outdoors Great Josh. Thanks. Glad I could help. Absolutely love the boat and you will too!

[@sunrise7ranch85]

@@OBOUTDOOR How does it handle big waves and rough water? Have you had a change to run it in bad conditions? I will be taking it up to Erie 1-4 times a year and things can get bumpy there at times.

[@kurtriedmuller8223]

Awesome boat Kyle ! I just got my first lund last year a 2012 model I love it but my next boat will have a full windshield for sure !!! That's a beauty!!!!

[@OBOUTDOOR]

Thanks Kurt and congrats on Lund!

[@ericdulin5689]

Just ordered a 1775 Impact (fits in my garage). Looking forward to getting it out and fishing with it...

[@OBOUTDOOR]

Congrats!

[@tegdejonge]

How deep is your garage if I may ask. Looking at getting one

[@ThumpemupFishingchannel]

@@tegdejonge my garage was 20’ but was 2 1/2 car so I could angle mine to fit in the 1 1/2 slot…

[@tomstarcevich1147]

Nice boat lund impacts are a great value.im still driving my 95 1700 lund fisherman its the grandfather of the impacts 👍😊🎣

[@OBOUTDOOR]

Very nice!!

[@asecmimosas4536]

Windshield looks dope.

[@SharingTheOutdoors]

Thanks for this! Been looking at Lunds!

[@xCruZChaos]

Awesome review man. Cheers.

[@JGFowler121]

Fantastic review 🥇you left no stone unturned 🏆I’m trying to decide between a Lund & Tracker. Thanks for sharing 👊

[@TW14137]

Great job on the review!

Fire up the stereo and "do some motorboatin". I couldn't click the subscribe button fast enough.

[@gregdidiano2171]

How do you like your Merc now after 4 years any problems? Love the impact!

[@Manitoban1]

I love my 2017 you mention about how you love the vinyl on the bottom of compartments, you would of loved it more if you went all vinyl I have no carpet in mine . when you catch and land fish I just use my bucket and splash water over the casting deck to get rid of the slime, carpet not so easy, if I want carpet I have the snap in option, haven't used it yet, great boats

[@blakebuilders8186]

Just bought this boat. 2018 with only 15 hours on it!!

[@arejaye2143]

Hey bud, question. How did you store your Bimini top like that? Are the legs under the rear bench? I tried on my 1875 and it won’t go back far enough.

[@paul.aragon]

Nice audio level. What microphone system are you using?

[@jessepanzer4470]

Impacts are fishing machines. I had the 1875 for 3 years with the 9.9 kicker, decided I wanted to go back to a big tiller (midlife crisis?) for one season, big mistake, just sold it and picking up another Impact in 2 weeks

[@huebner3499]

Is there enough room in the bow for two musky fishermen casting in this boat?

[@OBOUTDOOR]

For sure.

[@ghostidk4547]

How much does this boat cost in todays money?

[@DanielSon69]

What shaft length did you go with on the 8 hp? Any regrets re the kicker?

[@OBOUTDOOR]

I’m not sure on the length as that was actually the main motor for my old Tim can boat that I threw onto the 1875. I have. 2025 now with a 9.9 pro kicker.

[@DanielSon69]

@@OBOUTDOOR thanks. What shaft length on the 9.9?

[@OBOUTDOOR]

@@DanielSon69 25” I believe

[@DanielSon69]

@@OBOUTDOOR thanks 😊

[@yankee_911_guy]

Just bought an 1875 Impact XS!! Do you travel with your anchor in that front storage compartment? I would like to keep it there but I was wondering if it bounces and could damage the boat?

[@OBOUTDOOR]

Corey Shaffer Congrats! Yes I had both of them in there. I now have the 2025 impact and they are in there too. Have fun!

[@luvingtheoutdoors6348]

How does it handle on big water like lake erie

[@Rybainternational]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@GopherHayes]

I see a section of the old bridge has been removed 😥

[@OBOUTDOOR]

Yeah it’s completely gone now. Bittersweet that’s for sure. They are currently putting up fishing piers in the old bridges place. Lower to the water.

[@klappy803]

What prop are you running on your main engine? I've got the same boat but it came with a 19p aluminum black max. Top end wasn't bad but it blows out quite easy. I have a 17p 4 blade revolution4 in the garage I can't wait to try once the ice leaves. It's a great boat, very versatile! It will satisfy the needs of myself and my family for many years!

[@klappy803]

Ok a little late but the rev 4 17p two guys, calm water, full gear load, half tank of fuel 44.8 mph on the gps. I'm pretty satisfied. In my opinion holds better in the turn and is very quick to plane vs the black max. I haven't had a chance to compare it to a tempest 3 blade but would interested to do so. Also to note I can troll walleyes in normal wind for 4-5 hours with just the 80lb terrova. It works perfect as with the kids (2 and 4 years) I don't yet have a block of time longer than that to fish anyhow.

[@klappy803]

@@Tyler-zw4kq What motor? What prop? Stainless? If you even tweak a blade a little out of perfect it will make a big difference. Just like a little ding on a two stroke dirtbike expansion chamber.

[@klappy803]

@@Tyler-zw4kq Well first off its slower cause its a smaller engine. Secondly get yourself a new prop, whether its aluminum or stainless, a prop with dings is out of balance and is not doing your gear case or fuel economy any favors.

[@devinmartin7626]

Whats the price point on the standard model.

[@brandonfischer565]

Can the rail mounts handle some scotty downriggers with a 15lb ball?

[@OBOUTDOOR]

I just saw this comment now so I’m sorry for the very late reply. They have downrigger plates for the system to use.

[@bobwoods1302]

Not much and you?

[@travisnunya4641]

Looks like you are sponsored by Lund. Why didnt you get the 2025 impact

[@OBOUTDOOR]

This size worked out amazing!

[@maxwellyang7117]

Is it for bass fishing too 0_0

[@michaelmontalto]

Total cost after all accessories? -mM

[@OBOUTDOOR]

With a year old boat and accessories, today, it would be hard to say.

[@CensoredConservative]

I bought a new impact 1850 in 2017. By 2018 it was totaled thanks to lake St Clair. Not the boats fault just beat the shit out of it fishing tournaments. I run a ranger now but miss some of the features. Nice rig.
