I spent a day with a Lund dealer/tournament angler last summer and we had a great discussion about the Pro-v boats. My question is comming from the post earlier about the 1900 vs 2025.
The gentleman I fished with had a strong opinion that the 1900 was the best performing Pro-V due to its HP rating to foot print(surface area in water) ratio. He said that the 1900 was able to get up on plane better and maintain a higher plane(less hull in the water)at cruise-high speeds. His reasoning was because of the increase in overall surface area you gain in the 2025 and only realize a 25 HP rating increase that the mid to upper end performance suffers. What is your feeling on this matter. This person is a loyal Lund person but he just has his favorite model and this was his reason why. Is there any truth to this reasoning or is this another case of each man has his opinion. Not trying to start a debate among Lund owners, just looking for some performance facts. T-Mac, this seemed to be the type of question you can usually handle well and give your opinion as a dealer. Thanks for the help..

I have run a 2025 with 225 Merc for 2 seasons. I have not owned a 1900 but have a friend that does. We both fish about 6 tournaments a year on big, rough water. Based on our experience, the 2025 is a little faster and definitely drier. While both rigs have been war horses, the 2025 has held up exceptionally well through many long runs and 2 RCL Championships in tough conditions on Green Bay. I would personally never buy a 1900 over a 2025 if the extra money was not an issue. This is obviously my opinion only. Both are good boats.

I have owned both boats. For top end I would run faster in the 1900 w/200 efi. But for comfort on big water the 2025 is the way to go, plus lots of room. If your looking for speed the efi motors and setting the motor up one hole on the transom is about the best you can do.
