I ordered a Lund 1810 Predator with 90HP Mercury 4-Stroke, Minkota Terrova with I-Pilot, and a couple of Lowrance finders.  Made a few other personal preference upgrades as well.  I should have it around May 15th, can't wait. Thanks to anyone who has been answering some of my questions on Lunds, Minkota's, Finders, etc.  

I feel like a better fisherman already! LOL

Congrats on the purchase. The boats are awesome, it will get a lot of looks. There are only a handful of 1810 Predators around. You will love the storage in the front deck, the full width compartment is awesome for the big stowaways. We've had 15 or more in that compartment. One thing I would check when rigging is the location of your onboard charger. If you put it under one of the jump seats in the rear of the boat make sure its on the sides of those compartments rather than on the floor. Chargers are supposedly waterproof, but water will collect under there and you probably don't want the charger submerged. Enjoy the boat!

Wow... color me jealous.  It sounds like an awesome rig... I demand photos when it's picked up next month!  

Congrats on the new toy!

Question - what are you using as a tow vehicle?

If I was in the market for a new rig, the Lund predator is at the top of the list. Congrats on the purchase. Would love to see pics once it's riged.

Those look like awesome boats. Gotta love those tillers! Sounds like you are rigging it nicely too. I can't wait to see some pictures when you get it home. Congrats!

Thanks Guys, I will definetely post some photos. Went with the black boat and then added the Lund Special Edition Graphics to make it stand out a bit.

As for the tow vehicle question- 2007 Dodge Durango

You'll definetly catch more and bigger fish with that rig! At least that's what I tell myself everytime I upgrade to an expensive piece of equiptment.
