Looks awesome. I want one.
There is also going to be a 1775 with a 150 rating.

Location: Tinley Park, IL | I wonder if an Xi5 will fit in that tray. I think a lot of guys that would be interested in that boat would prefer a Terrova/Xi5 over a cable drive TM. |

| If you go to you tube look below the video they are talking about two models the bass version and the muskie version with a bigger cut out and 2 flip up seats toward the rear.I think that was what I read, maybe I'm reading it wrong.

Didn't see that. I'd like more info on that as well. |

Location: North Central IL USA | Nice layout but a hard pass for me. Don't like sittin' on the cockpit floor, which is where the seats almost are. I'd get a regular pro v or impact instead. |

Lund had this boat in the mid 90's and discontinued it. There were 2 on Lake Waconia...
Good luck with whatever boat you buy! |

Maybe for musky. The problem with the Predator was that it was bigger than what the average tin boat guy wants and way more expensive. At least this Pro V is under 19' with a 200 HP max. A new Predator today would cost nearly 50K. |

Location: Aurora IL | The hull design on the bass is the pro v hull. Big improvement over predator hull. Also has spray rails, much dryer ride in big water. More freeboard also, only drawback to interior I can see is net storage (not that any boat I've owned was any better). I cant wait to see them in person myself. Bill |

The Predator was either the 20' 225 HP or an 18'3 85" beam, 125 HP.
One was too big and one was too small. At the end of the day, the boat was discontinued and I suspect it was due to low sales. These two Pro V bass models will satisfy the tin bass boat guys better since it has the dimensions and HP requirements that bass boat guys want.

Ok, so let me get this straight... Is this really the same hull as the Pro V? It looks much lower profile to me. The Pro V does well in chop, how will this bass version do? And even though I rarely fish walleyes, will it troll as well as the original Pro-V? |

Nothing official yet at least from what I've seen. A few pictures made there way out from the big Lund pow wow they had a couple weeks back. Those pics have been posted on some bass forums. If you do a search they will come right up. I'd post the link but I'm not sure of this forum's rules on that. PM me if you can't find them.
I read that the Lund website is supposed to post them in mid Sept and they will building them in Oct.

Location: With my son on the water | I was a loyal Lund guy most of my life (had 5) and they all served me well and never had a hull or trailer related issue, I may even get one again if my fishing style changes. But like most of use we always seem to go bigger, and when I went bigger with my last Lund the freeboard created a massive sail affect, even with the new trolling motors and the advanced features like spot lock, etc it still was a sail. I made the switch to a Tuffy 1760 and oh my, what a difference in a positive way. It is like comparing being in a Tank versus a Porsche, the ride and stability are superior too. I personally would be concerned how a large hull like this would catch the wind as compared to the glass boats on the market today? As far as the issue of damaging glass vs aluminum, let me just say you learn to take a bit more pride in you equipment and institute a bit of TLC which isn't a bad thing. (Example: I never wiped down my Lunds when I was done, but with the New Tuffy I take the 5 minutes every time and wipe away the slim line - actually that is my sons job)
But that Lund sure has a nice layout, it's good to see the manufactures making what the guys want.
Have a great weekend everyone.  |

My ASSUMPTION (you know where that gets you) is that it is exactly the same hull as the 1875 pro-V BELOW THE GUNWALES, and that the gunwales on the bass version are simply 5 or 6 inches lower to the water. If so, I think it should handle any waves that remain below the gunwales +/- exactly the same as a pro-v walleye boat, the only difference being the extra gunwale height on the walleye version.
Regarding trolling, the photos I've seen of it show the sides of the splashwell covered with carpeted deck. Here's a picture lifted from a different thread about this boat showing the covered splashwells. http://s218.photobucket.com/user/1BigEasy/media/Signs%20and%20such/...
These deck pieces may be removable (???) but it appears to me that they would interfere with adding a kicker motor. Seems to me that if you do enough trolling to warrant worrying about it that this isn't the boat for you anyway? |

| I would only occasionally forward troll, so no need for more splashwell to back troll. And no need for a kicker for me... |

| So which boat would handle rough waters better? The proven hull of the Pro-V, or the glass hull of the x-190? |
