Lund 1875 Pro-V Bass Boats For Sale

The Lund 1875 Pro-V Bass is an aluminum boat that brings Lund's big-water reputation into the bass world, measuring 18 feet 9 inches in overall length with a 96-inch beam. That width runs the full length of the deck, giving the front casting platform more room than most rigs near 19 feet. It functions as a multi-species boat as much as a dedicated bass boat Lund, working well for muskie, walleye, pike and panfish, and the XS model adds two flip-up jump seats integrated into the rear casting deck for tubing or pleasure riding with up to four people. The boat is rated to carry close to 900 pounds, roughly a five-person rating, with hull capacity to seat people across the chairs.

The foundation is Lund's IPS 2 hull, an integrated power strake design adapted from the deep-V Pro-V walleye hull and modified for bass duty. Lifting strakes in the bow create an air pocket for more lift and less drag, reverse chines add side-to-side stability, and a flat center pad at the transom helps lift the stern for quick hole shots. A nearly solid aluminum center keel runs to the transom for shallow-water impact protection and acts as a rudder when trolling. The bow is double-plated, with two pieces of aluminum joined for strength, and the aluminum measures about .180 inch thick, which Lund cites as 60 to 80 percent thicker than most aluminum boats. A riveted spray rail keeps the ride dry across big waves.

Performance comes from Mercury power. Lund pairs the 1875 Pro-V Bass with a 200 Pro XS that reaches about 50 mph top speed with one person aboard, while a 150 Pro XS is offered as a value setup with a Tempest prop and ample power for both fishing and recreational use. A hot foot throttle handles control from hole shot to top end. Anyone shopping used Lund Pro-V boats or new Lund Pro V boats for sale should confirm which engine package is fitted, since it directly affects the top-end figure.

The helm is a fiberglass-reinforced console solid enough to pull yourself up by, with a matching port console available as a quick-release option for passenger wind protection and an extra glove box. The dash has space for two large graphs front and center; setups have run twin Garmin units with LiveScope and a Minn Kota trolling motor with all-around tracking and a remote for trolling. A Kicker Bluetooth stereo, a wireless phone charger, full instrumentation, and multiple 12-volt and USB outlets round out the console.

Storage is the defining feature. The bow compartments are deep enough to fit a grown adult, all protected by Lund's Advanced Water System, which channels water to the bilge so terminal tackle and Plano boxes stay dry. The center rod locker holds rods up to 8 feet 6 inches, with capacity listed at 15 rods, and houses the trolling motor batteries low for balance. The master livewell is a dual-lid unit with a removable divider, recirculation, pump-out and lighting, while the cranking battery sits in its own compartment with a master on/off switch. Other touches include a recessed three-step boarding ladder, a concealed cooler with a bow step, a snap-in marine mat, and a Shorelander trailer with bow trailer steps and a spare tire. For anyone comparing Lund bass boats for sale, the choice between the bench-seat console layout and the XS extra-seating version is the main decision to weigh.
