Brian Velte - 5 years ago

This is the nicest boat on utube.

Aj Lynn - 5 years ago

Wow ~ Thanks, Brian. I appreciate the support.

Aj Lynn - 6 years ago

I'll be adding a "Two Year Update Review" video in the next week or two. Still totally loving Pro-V bass and an update is due.

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

Aj Lynn - 6 years ago

Wow ~ Thanks - I'll do that - btw - JD is tearing the cover off the Ball I like it - Need to get Mookie back

fishingforlunker - 6 years ago

I will contact them when I am ready. If you're ever in town let me know and I will try to hook you up with some Sox tickets. I have season tickets. Great seats. Week night package.

Aj Lynn - 6 years ago

Thanks ~ I grew up in Everett, MA - Still a Huge Boston Sports fan. I get 58 mph WOT. The 2075 is a Super Sweet rig and everyone I know that has one or even ridden in one LOVES Them. GET IT ! Lund's are popular here - I used Maple Bay Marine in Brutus, MI Great Service. Ask For Tim or Dustin, they'll take good care of you. I'll be doing a '2 year' updated review on this rig in a week or two. Watch for it - also I am re-powering the Pro-V. Just ordered the new V-8 Pro XS 200hp - expect it the first week of August. If you order a new boat - get the new motor !

South Paw - 6 years ago

Awesome boat ! Enjoyed the detailed review. Looks like a nice accumulation of rod and reel set ups. And what a great rod locker, to store them in. Would love to see a review of some of your favorites rod and reel set ups. Especially the ones geared more towards smallmouth.
Good job. Think I'll watch it again...

Aj Lynn - 6 years ago

Thanks for the kind words - Not really a tackle reviewer. In the months since I post this review I've added to & zero'ed in my rod & reel selections. Consists of Quantum & Shimano reels and Quantum, St Croix, G.Loomis & Fenwick Rods. Different models for different applications - and I do love to catch Smallies ~ :c)

I just purchased a 2018 lund 1875 pro v bass xs thank you for the imformative videos it help me make my decision alot easier I know I'm going to love it .

Aj Lynn - 6 years ago

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.

GGI Consulting - 6 years ago

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

GGI Consulting - 6 years ago

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.

Aj Lynn - 6 years ago

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.

gg gag - 6 years ago

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

Aj Lynn - 6 years ago

That's Fantastic ~ Congratulations ! Very Best of Luck to you with your New Lund.

Kyle Kubik - 6 years ago

How much was the whole setup ?

John Mcgee - 6 years ago

Just built one and with alot of upgrades.. you are looking at around 60,000 with taxes and fee's. Which to be honest is not that bad for a brand new rig that is going to last you for a very long time, and any other bass boat out there will not handle big lakes like this machine will.

Kyle Kubik - 6 years ago

Thank you

Aj Lynn - 6 years ago

You can build what you're looking for and get a ball park price on the Lund site ~ http://www.lundboats.com/boat-models/1875-pro-v-bass/

John DeLuca - 6 years ago

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

John DeLuca - 6 years ago

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.

Aj Lynn - 6 years ago

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.

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)

Joshua Grams - 6 years ago

Can you get a single axel trailer with this model? And do you need to wipe it down after a trip like a glass boat?

Aj Lynn - 6 years ago

Yes - The package I purchased included the custom single axle galvanized trailer - as for wiping down the hull after use - I do it. A quick wipe down with Boat Bling's Hot Sauce removes water spots without removing wax - spray & wipe - here's a link ~ https://www.boatbling.net/shop/hot-sauce

Great boat, thank for the video. congrats on the buy.. I'm sold on this model

Aj Lynn - 7 years ago

Thank You & You're Welcome - Good Luck with any future purchase ~ btw I Am a HUGE fan of my 2-Stroke !

hollada - 7 years ago

Why the talons instead of an ultrex or other spotlock TM? What is the height of the talons on the trailer (garage door clearance)?

Aj Lynn - 7 years ago

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...

hollada - 7 years ago

Do you have any video of rough water (3 ft or better trough to crest) runs?

Aj Lynn - 7 years ago

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.

Daniel Murphy - 7 years ago

Nice hat xD

Aj Lynn - 7 years ago

Thanks ~

Daniel Murphy - 7 years ago

Dream boat there too

Bower The Shepherd - 7 years ago

Great review. Just wondering if you do am update video. Things you like and don't like. Interested in buying one

Aj Lynn - 7 years ago

Thank you - It's pretty wild how many views this video has gotten. I did this first one spur of the moment. I'll be doing an update review in a week or two - watch for it. However, I can tell you right now - there will very few if any negative remarks about this rig - it's really good.

Joe Cleope - 7 years ago

Congrats on the new boat Aj, it looks impressive with the upgrades. I've been enjoying all your informative videos and appreciate all the information you share as a bass angler/boater. Fish on buddy, enjoy it!

Aj Lynn - 7 years ago

Thanks for the kind words Joe, I appreciate it.

Ben Berg - 7 years ago

Do you ever wish you got the Lund 2075 Pro-V Bass.

Aj Lynn - 7 years ago

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.

Dave S - 7 years ago

Aj Lynn - Love the boat. What did yours cost set up as it is ?

Aj Lynn - 7 years ago

Thank You - Me Too. Prices can vary a bit depending on local. My particular boat, motor & trailer package included a custom trailer which bumped up the $$ . Not willing to post prices publically. I will say that I did pay a bit less that what the Lund interactive web site quotes. I'm in northern Michigan and used Maple Bay Marine in Brutus, MI - they are Fantastic !

Legend Fishing - 7 years ago

beautiful boat!

Team Jesus Outdoors - 7 years ago

What is top speed with the 200 Merc?

Aj Lynn - 7 years ago

Hi John - It's running just under 60 mph - and I have it pretty loaded down with gear & tackle. After running it for a season I can tell you this one launches very nicely out of the hole. A little less HP would probably be OK -
But that's Not my style - I like to have the juice when I want & need it.

TrackemKY - 7 years ago

Been doing a little research on this Boat and like to thank you for such a Great review/tour best Ive seen on youtube going to be checking out some more your vids. P.S subbed up Tight Lines

Aj Lynn - 7 years ago

Thanks ~ It's a Great Boat !

schneiderbeans - 7 years ago

Do the storage compartments lock?

Aj Lynn - 7 years ago

The Two most forward compartments and the Rod Locker all lock with a key as does the Pop Up Tackle Tray.
The 'glove box' type space in the optional (passenger) console locks with a key as well.

Kori Whitchurch - 7 years ago

how much do these new bass boats (lunds) cost?

Kaleb Phillips - 7 years ago

Awesome thank you very much!

Kaleb Phillips - 7 years ago

Okay thank you very much!

Kaleb Phillips - 7 years ago

Thank you very much

Aj Lynn - 7 years ago

The New Lund Pro-V Bass boat prices, like most boats, range in price depending on options chosen. Base price varies a little from dealer to dealer & by local. Prices are comparable to most of the better New Glass Hull models. This ones rigged up nicely and the price reflected that. You get what you pay for.

How fast is it?

Michigan bassmaster1 - 8 years ago

+Aj Lynn Thanks, i was wondering because the river, Lake Erie and lake St. Clair can get extremely rough out of nowhere, sometimes dangerous.

Aj Lynn - 8 years ago

Aj Lynn - 8 years ago

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.

Michigan bassmaster1 - 8 years ago

+Aj Lynn another question for you, how does it handle on rough water like 3 to 5 feet waves?

Michigan bassmaster1 - 8 years ago

+Aj Lynn also where about in Michigan are you? I'm from Trenton on the Detroit river

Aj Lynn - 8 years ago

She's a mid 50's ride

Andy Mercado - 8 years ago

Hello AJ Great walk through. I am looking at this boat myself. Wondering where you are located. My nearest lund dealer is not being very helpful. I live in Northern California. I would also suggest an external mic. the audio is a bit faint. TTy

Andy Mercado - 8 years ago

No worries.. Thanks for the info.

Aj Lynn - 8 years ago

I'm in northern Michigan and used Maple Bay Marine in Brutus, MI - they are Fantastic. Try emailing Carol Keskitalo ~ at Carol.Keskitalo@lundboats.com She is a Lund Factory Rep and was helpful until I hooked up with my dealer. She can answer questions for you & may "help" with the communications between you & whatever local dealer you're trying to use - Good Luck. btw - Thanks for the mic advice but I'm just a video hack who makes raw stuff - it is what it is.

Noah P - 8 years ago

Great video. Really covered everything. You've got my dream rig. Down to every detail. Hoping within the next couple of years I'll be buying my pro-v bass.
