    I’ve always wanted to make a first post!

    2001 Lund Angler SS 1700 and the layout works GREAT for the style of fishing that I do. Anchor and fish out of the back. Although most of the time there’s lots of room, drop two clients, myself and a 30 pound flathead in there and the space tightens up considerably.

    Went out for a couple hours last night. It’s great to be back on the water!

    I have a Lund too!!!! A 1675 Explorer that has met every sandbar between Pool 3 and Lake City If a Lund can survive the Redneck experience it has to be a heck of a boat

    BK, did you tie into any? My brother was out on pool 11 the other night and got 11- all of them smaller ones between 6-11 pounds, but all flatheads none the less. Just wondering. I as well plan on getting some gills and hitting a few of my favorite holes tonight, weather permitting.

    Why was a Lund forum made if there is already a Lund Group?

    Our hearts weren’t into flats last night Steve. Checking out areas and snags mostly. We have some really good spots this year and I’ll be out this weekend the Good Wife Willing.

    We did pick up a 25.5 inch wallabie on dead fatheads.

    Next to cigarette butts the next most populus form of roadside pollution is Lund rivets. Sorry, someone had to say it.

    After 10 blissful years of fishing/duck hunting out of a ’74 Lund 14 footer (that never, ever leaked a drop), I upgraded to a 2000 1650 Explorer (tiller) a couple of years ago. Matched up with a 50 HP Honda, I could not be happier.

    Just picked up a 17 ft black Lund Explorer SS a couple months ago. 115 merc 2 stroke with the Smart Craft Gauges. No kicker motor, but hoping the Smart Craft Gauges will work for the trolling I do. Lowrance LMS-522C in the front and a LCX-37C with a Lake Master chip at the console. I’ve been very happy with it up to this point. Lots of nice features I didn’t have with my previous ride which I had to let go after 20 years of use, a smokercraft Fazer that I believe is still being used on Lake Pepin. The new boat has more features and technology than I can currently understand so I hope others can help. If you see me on the Croix or the Missisippi swing by and say hi.

    2005 Lund 1800 Explorer SS. 140 Suzuki and T-8 kicker. T-8 is great for slow trolling ‘eyes and as an added safety measure. Addition of the HB Side Imaging this year ROCKS.

    Whats awesome about the Explorer?? Very wide, lots of room, Sportrac mounting rails are GREAT – No holes in the gunwale!! My 2 downrigger bases come off very easily – (They also mount onto the sportrac system and are extremely strong). With the help of the sportrac, I can add, move, and remove rod holders at will – we have run up to 11 or 12 rods at once on Michigan.

    Livewells are good sized – The rear livewell has seen its share of 3 man limit (#15) salmon averaging 12lbs each, and has room to spare, even after you include the ice. Front livewell is just as big or bigger.

    Very stable boat, I have been out in 4-5 footers (in the dark) on Lake Michigan and felt safe – not the easiest fishing, but I certainly didn’t feel under-boated. Everything inside is quality, carpet is removable for cleaning or just if you want bare floor (snaps onto the linoleum flooring). Can take everything from the Canadian sheild to the rolls of Lake Michigan, no problem!

    Love it!!

    I’ve got an ’04 1800 Lund SS. Great boat, lots of room to throw things around. I like the snap in carpet, but I’ve already broke 2 snaps! Anyone know how to fix these? The sportrac is an awesome idea, however $25 for a piece of plastic to mount rod holders is a bit much. Other than that, no complaints at all. Love the boat!

    What a sweet boat Paid $2000 less than asking price and she is in mint condition, not a scratch on it Nobody believes me when I say it was a used boat

    03′ Pro “V” Tiller

    03′ 90hp Evinrude Fic (this thing screams, 45 Mph water speed )

    Shorelandr Roller Trailer ( Best trailer I’ve ever owned )

    80lb monkota Vector in back

    70lb Power drive in front

    Lowrance 332c in front

    Lowrance 28c HD in back

    Wave wackers

    This thing is truly set up to fish Those guys made everything on this boat fisherman friendly

    The only complaint is the fact that I can’t find a keel protection system designed for an aluminum hull so I can protect my baby

    2000 1600 Pro Sport with a 70 Horse Johnson. The thing is in showroom condition inside and out, only downfall was having to drive to illinois to get it. I think I got a pretty good deal on it for $8500.00

    Assumming you have the basic general use snap.I bought a snap kit from Overtons.You can probably get them also at a hardware store,Mills or Gander. Saves time/money down the road.Good luck!

    1997 1650 Lund Angler SS powered by a 2003 90hp 2 stroke Yamaha, A 2007 Yamaha T8 kicker, MinnKota Power Drive 70lbs thrust with CoPilot & Universal Sonar, Lowrance 5300C Mounted to the dash or can move it to the stern when I am trolling, Eagle Fish ID 128 on the dash and a Eagle Cuda 168 on the bow. Not the fastest or biggest rig out there but I can not complain as it gets me on the water. I added allot of the extras as I could afford them and have it almost set up the way I want it.
