Lund 1775 Pro V SE vs Lund 1800 Pro V SE

Recommended Posts

Chow,
I have been running an "01" Pro V, 1775 CS with a 115 hp. Yamaha 4 stroke the last two seasons and love it!
I am able to go slow enough to foreward troll Raps effectively.(fast trolling).
I get about 42 mph by myself and 35 with two passengers.
The 1800 will probably be my next boat though. More room!

I bought a 1800 PROV IFS three weeks ago and it came in to the dealer today. 175 vmax HPDI. It should be ready in the next week. I assume I'll like it when I use it but I already like it when I lay in bed and think about fishing in it on Opener 32 degrees or 65 degrees. I can't wait to put my cold hand into the 45 degree minnow bucket(which will feel warm) and try to grab a shiner!!!

Be dang sure you ALSO have a sufficiently weighted trailer under your rig!
I had to go back and buy a 2nd trailer for my Lund Mr. Pike and Johnson 4-stroker...AFTER I had discussed the original trailer "was a bit light-weight" with the dealer I bought it from. They said there at the dealership, "the trailer we have under this umit you are buying IS rated(weight-rated) sufficient". I said I had "questions of it being so".
In the end, I WAS correct. I had to go to a +3000lb rated instead of the dealership directed 2200lber. I pull my rig out to Montana and literally burned up the tires on each of the 2 initial trips out!
Went back to dealer and TOLD them to put a 3000lb trailer under it(with a few "extras").

So, trailer IS a major concern here ALSO...not just the boat and motor!

Good luck with all 3 choices!

Chow,

Find the correct weight of your boat,& motor, plus weight of the fuel tank(full) and add 300lbs for gear..THEN add 200 lbs. for added "insurance". Is my philosophy.

Ex: I have a Mr. Pike (1650 hull-1998) and 1998 70hp 4-stoker motor, and 20 gal fuel tank.

Boat: 911 lbs.
Motor: 325 lbs.
Fuel: 160 lbs.
Plus: 500 lbs.(gear+ to be safe)

comes to 1,896 lbs total. So go for the minimum of 2,000 GW lb. single axle trailer-

OR I'd be dang sure to choose a trailer with a MINIMUM wheel size of 14 inchers under it!
Some guys go with wheel size only here..and 14 inchers covers alot of weight in a boat trailer.
You ARE very correct in that "sitting on the side of the highway, broken down, is NOT a good fishin trip!" That trailer IS KEY!

Good Luck and if I may ask, Where are you looking at buying...T.C. area or south?

LUND-MAN (or anyone else),
That is a great comment about the trailer and I agree it is very much a KEY piece of equipment as I want to be fishing, not sitting along side the road fixing my trailer. I have heard similar things from other folks as well and totally agree not to skimp on the trailer. My question is this:

How do you know how much trailer to put under the boat?

For me I will basically have to trailer the boat when I fish. It may be 5 miles down the road or it may be 150+ miles, as I do not live on a lake. So the boat will be on the trailer alot of the time. Do you trust the dealer on thier recomendation, or is there a better way?

Thoughts anyone? Thanks,
Chow

I will check out several places around the twin cities area. Any recommendations? Probably check Rapid Sports off 65, and Crystal Pierz in Chisago, as well as a couple others...

Chow,

I have a 3100lb Rated Shorelander for my 1800.

It has surge brakes on it and they really help reduce the wear on your Truck Brakes as well as added safety.

Since I jump from lake-to-lake alot and I load and unload the boat alone, I like my trailer size because I can drive my boat right onto it from the water, hook up the nose clip and drive off the ramp in about 1-minute.

Like I mentioned before--try some of the boarder Lund Dealers--I like Soo Sports, they are Lund experts and they know how to rig boats for wiring.

Hey Chow!

Another point of definite interest here will be the vehicle you are pulling this unit with.
If you plan on a 1800 w4-stroke and all bells and whistles available...well, I would be hopin you have a pick-up with a V-8 or diesel engine...especially if you are towing for any long distances.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
