Lund Boat Windshield

Victory Sign for Lund's New Vs

New York Mills, Minn. (9/7/11) -

"V"isionary.  

A person or entity of unusually keen ideas and insights; one who can envision the future. It is almost as if Noah Webster had a premonition about Lund Boats' conception in 1948.

Back when visionary boat maker Lund engineered its first Pro-Vs, the idea for a true hardcore fishing boat scarcely existed. Models such as the classic and revolutionary Gary Roach Edition Pro-V immediately became the boat that fueled the dreams of competitive, ardent and casual anglers. Every in-the-know angler wanted one. And every other manufacturer endeavored to copy one. Decades and thousands of happy Pro-V owners later, the Pro-V's aspiration status endures.

Now, answering overwhelming angler demand, Lund takes the covers off two prestigious new editions. The 1875 SE / IFS and 1775 SE / IFS are going to be one of the most sought after boats in Lund history.  "Serious anglers will love everything these boats have to offer," says Lund Design Engineer Rory Wiebe. "These are true fishing machines in smaller 17- and 18-foot packages. Big water to small lakes, these boats can handle it all."

Adds Engineering Manager Paul Zarn, a Veteran, Visionary boat designer: "These new Pro-Vs are built using our time-tested 'longitudinal stringer system' for incredible strength and durability. When bolting these stringers to the transom, we control our running surface down to thousands of an inch. This, along with our IPS hull design, provides unparalleled on-the-water performance."

Pro-V equals Value. So much boat for the money; so many fishable features-that's what the new Pro-V 1875 SE/IFS and 1775 SE/IFS are all about. These walleye vessels offer fishing-friendly layouts, optional rear flip seat/casting platform, enormous storage, generous tackle and rod space and the newly designed driver and passenger consoles.

 Pro-V equals Verve and Vigor.

Pro-V equals Value. So much boat for the money; so many fishable features—that’s what the new Pro-V 1875 SE/IFS and 1775 SE/IFS are all about. These walleye vessels offer fishing-friendly layouts, optional rear flip seat/casting platform, enormous storage, generous tackle and rod space and the newly designed driver and passenger consoles.

Pro-V equals Verve and Vigor. Thanks to swimming pool-sized livewells refreshed by the Max-Air system, as well as optional aerated baitwells, both your catch and your livebait retain maximum health and, yes, verve and vigor. Of course, the same could be said for the boats themselves. “Just like their bigger brothers,” says Wiebe, “the new Pro-Vs are built on heavy-duty, high performance IPS2 hulls. They power across the surface with minimal motor strain, providing a supremely smooth, dry ride.” While Lund’s ‘no-feedback’ cable steering feature assures effortless control. Both the ProLong livewell and IPS2 hull systems remain the envy of the marine industry.
