A mid-sized rig with a wide-open design and a full list of standard features - that's the 181 Defender. Priced to perform and destined to deliver, this fish-focused machine enjoys a broad, ultra-stable 94" beam with huge weather-sealed storages, large casting platforms, and a world of room in the cockpit.

Inside, smooth hydraulic steering centers the helm, while a 26-gallon fuel capacity and choice of 60-75hp outboards provide the ideal blend of acceleration and economy. Built into the 18' 1" length is an 8' rod box, 3-across seat bases, and an aerated livewell/baitwell up front. Another tournament grade well with divider and pump-out centers the rear deck. Instrumentation includes speed, tach, fuel, and trim gauges, plus, the factory-rigged layout features a Minn Kota Edge trolling motor, battery charger, integrated LED bow lights, and a Humminbird Helix 5.

From the all-welded, high performance pad hull to the quiet confidence of upright level flotation and so much more, you'll enjoy incredible stealth in this total performance design. The 181 Defender... It's packed with more than you'd dream for a lot less than you'd imagine!
