Lund’s Flagship Pro-V Is Redesigned And Better Than Ever

What features are noteworthy concerning electronics?

The newly redesigned console’s flat surface provides ample space for mounting dual fish finders without the need for aftermarket products. In addition, the entire electrical system is revamped for improved access to the fuse panel and wiring, and now includes a master battery switch.

There are 12-volt power and USB connections all over the boat, with the option of helm and passenger wireless phone chargers. Full-length, dimmable LED interior lighting and easy-to-read, backlit switches come standard, giving anglers better interior visibility when fishing trips begin and end in the dark.

What kind of rod storage can anglers expect?

There is a great deal of rod storage in this boat, including the 3-tier center rod locker as well as the port side rod locker. In addition, all boats have on-the-go rod storage on the bow and cockpit for a convenient place to secure rods when traveling between fishing spots.

What other storage features and amenities are notable? 

The latest Pro-V has exceptional storage capacity and features. For instance, the 1875 Pro-V, the smallest model, has designated drawers and storage for over 40 (3700 size) tackle trays. There is also plenty of point-of-use storage throughout, including tool and lure holders, throw trays and, cup holders.

The bow has cargo nets, below-deck bubble seal compartments, a built-in insulated cooler and, of course, a livewell. There’s also a bow-aerated bait cooler option with tie-downs and power. This add-on item makes it easy to manage live-bait without lake water and, in turn, gives anglers another tool for helping fight the spread of aquatic invasive species.

Within the cockpit, each console has a glove box and an integrated Lund ruler under the starboard console. The totally redesigned aft deck’s livewell has an integrated bait net, bait tamer, and is loaded with features to keep your catch alive and well.

How does the Pro-V’s design cater to family recreation needs on the water?

This boat is designed first and foremost for hard-core fishermen and tournament anglers, still, many of these individuals are also looking for a boat they can use for other water-based activities with the family. So, we redesigned the aft deck with an integrated boarding ladder, top hider, ski-pylon base option and available cushions. Recreational ability is also seen in the roomier, wider cockpit and Pro Ride seats with Air Ride pedestals, along with optional bow cushions, all of which provide plenty of places to get comfortable, whether lounging or cruising around the lake. 

Let’s wrap-up below the water line, talk about the Pro-V hull. 

The Pro-V has a double-riveted IPS2 hull, which is the best of the best in terms of construction and performance. A riveted hull—built right—is incredibly straight for precise tracking in all conditions. The IPS2 hull’s two sets of strakes, which include both a bow and an aft pair, are equally critical for the Pro-V achieving its legendary big-water performance, exceptional boat control and handling, and safe, smooth, dry ride.
