Location: Stevens Point, WI | I drove one last spring with a 115 Optimax and it hauled a^*! It's a solid rig, good layout, decently priced and fishes great in a variety of waters. |

TJ, do you remember the water conditions? how was it in the turns? did it seem stable with the 85" beam? and do you remember the WOT speed?........I was thinking mid - upper 40's
Thanks for the feedback. |

Location: Stevens Point, WI | Slimeball, to be honest, I really didn't get to put the boat through it's paces like I would have liked to. I ran it on a decent size lake, with winds 10-15mph. As for turns, I think it was pretty good, but like I said, I can't give you an honest opinion since I didn't get much time with it. The boats stability I felt was very good. As for speeds WOT, mid to high 40's like you said, depended on the load of course. |

| I wish I upgraded to the 1810 Predator when I had the chance last year. I currently have a 2006 Outfitter 1750ss with a 75hp Opti. but wanted to get a slightly wider boat with a higher HP rating. I came a cross a decent deal, but could not unload my boat in time. From what I have heard, my Outfitter layout turned into the Predator series. If it handles water anything like mine does, you will be super happy with the 1810 Pred. Mine only has a 77" beam, but is very stable in anything from glass water top to white heads crashing over the nose. Surprisingly dry ride too. |

| I am waffling between Lund Predator and Outfitter. Would you expand on why you wanted to change from Outfitter with special ref to rod storage and 50 hp engine (tiller version)? Thanks |
