Fellow fishermen, though I would like a new Pro-V, I don't need one.
Can anybody provide some information about the mid-90s era Lund 1890 pro-v? I can't find much info on that boat. Obviously I know how long it is, and I believe the max tiller size is 90 hp. Generally speaking, what was that boat like to own and operate? Were there any flaws with it (e.g. poor designs on anything)? How many livewells does it have? Rod lockers? Storage? How does it compare to Pro-V line that came before it (early 90's) and the line that replaced it? I haven't seen many photos, but given the length of the boat, and my experience with Lund, it seems like it would be a nice long and seaworthy boat, but relatively light and easy to tow around, compared to a Tyee.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
