Lund 1750 Outfitter

[The.257Sniper]

Any one have one? Would you buy it again. I am going to the factory in October to check things out and I think I could make a good crappie boat out of it.

if they would have offered it in the States in 2006, when I bought my 1700 Explorer (tiller), I would have bought the Outfitter for sure. While the Explorer/Pro Guide has the side storage copartments, and the rear livewell, the Outfitter is lighter & narrower. The only downside I see is the 60hp tiller rating, I think the new F70 Yamaha would be a good fit on that hull.
Keep us posted after your visit.

I love mine. The front deck is a bit higher than many of the other boats I looked at. This lets me sidearm cast more like a bass boat and also provides deeper storage. The beam is a bit narrower at 78", but I don't fish with more than two in the boat. It is a traditional Lund Deep V and may not be as gas friendly as some of the other Lunds, but it softly takes larger waves along with its narrower beam. Although the narrower beam can be a bit tippy with three in the boat. I have the single console with a 90 Opti on the back and she'll do about 42 GPS. The light weight of the boat makes loading and unloading a breeze.

I have a camp on LOW in Ontario and have been running 1750 outfitters (and 1700 outfitters prior to 2005)for over 10 years. I have been extremely happy with them. They powered with 50 hp yamaha fourstroke tillers, and can push 3 people at 30 MPH no problem. lots of storage, a smooth ride in the waves, and solid. No flexing feel as pounding through the waves. I am selling off some of my 2009's which are equipped with the 50 hp yamaha and Lowrance fishfinder/GPS. If interested, drop me a line at scottyck76@hotmail.com and can give you more info about them.

Everytime I look at other "dream" boats, that are bigger and faster, I can find something that they don't have that my Outfitter does. Basically it is my ideal boat. Currently I am moose hunting out of it, and I aint worried about muddying it up, getting blood on it, Also, in my opinion there is not another boat out there that has the storage that this one does. I can put soo much under that front deck, and a big part of that are the huge doors that they put on the main compartment. I looked at a proguide the other day, and the doors are tiny, small compartments too. I can put way more in my outfitter. I put 2 rubbermade and two coolers plus extras in that main compartment. It also has a nice big livewell, that i use for helping me revive 40"+ fish all the time. Better than an Alaskan in my opinion simply cause of that deck, I couldn't live without it now.

I've been looking at the Rebel and Pro guide series. The rebel has a narrower beam and what seems like a deeper V than the Pro Guide. Do you think the Rebel would cut through the waves a little better with a smoother ride?
