Lund 1875 Impact Boats For Sale

The Lund 1875 Impact is an 18-foot aluminum fishing boat built around versatility, suited to anglers chasing walleye, bass, muskie and panfish on water ranging from 200-acre lakes to big systems like Lake Mille Lacs. It runs as the Impact XS with a full windshield, and owners use it for family duty too, including skiing and tubing thanks to a factory ski pole mount. Six people can ride in it, with jump seats folding out on both sides of the rear live well. Shoppers looking at used Lund 1875 Impact boats for sale will find most rigged with Mercury power and a Shorelander trailer, often with a tandem axle and front bow ladder for easier solo loading.

Power comes from a Mercury outboard, with the 150 Pro XS being the maximum horsepower for the 18 Impact. At higher altitudes between 3,000 and 10,000 feet, a 17-pitch stainless steel Tempest propeller is the recommended setup. Engine hours and fuel economy can be tracked through the Mercury VesselView mobile app rather than dash gauges. Owners report the hull staying dry after full days on the water, with no measurable water when the plug is pulled.

The 2025 model received a major interior refresh. The deck is now full aluminum with no wood, and storage compartments use T-latches, gas shocks and rubber gasket seals for waterproof storage, matching the higher Pro-V line. The bow live well is insulated so it doubles as a cooler, and the boat carries two live wells, one in the bow and a larger one at the transom with a pump-out system and a divider. The front rod locker now holds 12 tubes, up from 10 in prior years, and fits 8-foot rods, while on-the-go rod storage adds two rods in the bow and four in the cockpit.

At the helm, the RPM, speedometer and trim gauges were relocated below the steering wheel to open a flat platform that accepts up to a 12-inch graph behind the full windshield, useful for forward-facing sonar like Mega Live or LiveScope. A new switch panel, phone holder, 12-volt outlets and USB chargers sit at the dash. Under-console slide-out drawers are deeper for 2025, sized to stack 3700 tackle boxes vertically on newer boats; earlier 18-foot Impacts fit 3600-size boxes. There are seven cup holders with integrated tool holders for pliers, scissors and hook files.

Battery management is a strong point. The house battery system places two 12-volt starting batteries together so the boat still cranks if one fails, and the 2025 relocation of the battery into the floor near the transom freed up usable storage on both sides of the rear that was previously wasted. Owners run trolling motor setups from 24-volt to 36-volt; one 36-volt lithium pack held over 70 percent charge after 6 to 8 hours of trolling in foot-and-a-half to two-foot waves. Pedestal bases number four on the floor plus one on the bow deck and one in the rear.

Build quality and Lund warranty support hold up well over several seasons. A 2022 Impact 1875 XS accumulated roughly 106 hours over multiple years with no structural issues, and a misaligned center windshield console was replaced under Lund warranty at no cost, complete with a new glove box and keys. Minor items to expect with any boat include occasional loose console screws and routine Mercury maintenance such as annual lower-unit and oil service with a water pump impeller change. When buying, weigh the windshield versus open-bow tradeoff, the tandem-versus-single trailer choice at this length, and whether you want the 2025 interior updates or an earlier wood-deck year.
