Lund Explorer 1800 SS, 150 hp Susuki 2-stroke


Recommended Posts

So I looked around this weekend and think I might be still a tad high.

I will let it go at 13,900 .

This boat is in great shape and will guaruntee it checks out ok should you want to take it to the shop for a professional to look at.

Please send pics.

How does it handle? I had a friend that owned the same boat with a 115hp Yamaha and he said that his got squirrely on the top end.

What was your top end speed with the 150hp?

Do you like the suzuki motor?

Thanks.

I will send you pics in 1 hour when I get to work. perhaps your friend had the 17 foot Explorer? This one is 18 and I can get 55-62mph (depending on if you believe the dash gage or the depth finder, I have never checked with a GPS)

I can run across (Contact Us Please) at top speed and it is smooth as silk. The only thing that might get squirrley is your hat if you don't turn it around! the Suzuki has a very long shaft, perhaps the prop sits a little lower. I fish in my friends 19 foot Pro-V all the time and you really can't tell much difference.

The Suzuki has ran perfect for me. It has very low hours and looks, runs, starts like new. Everybody who asks about the boat is a little suspect of the motor, probably because you don't see them all that often, but is runs like a champ and will guaruntee it checks out perfectly if you want to take it a marine shop or even just check compression.

Krats, I have the exact same boat/motor that is for sale here. Very nice ride! I mainly fish milacs (in fact im leaving in a few min) and it works great on big water and waves. My motor runs great also and is pretty fast. I have been going mid 50's (gps) with 4 guys and gear. At this price this is a deal blush.gif

Great boat, I have the same combo with a T - 8 Yamaha added. I have a stainless prop and at 5500 RPM's have never gotten over 48 MPH trimmed to the max and if it's loaded down like you say it will run 43-44. According to Suzuki tech they should run between 5200 - 5600 RPM. That is definetly a steal at that price.

Pics sent.

Boat is still for sale. The boat market is a little slow so don't let the price fool you. This boat is in great shape, in great woriking order, has all the accessories you need to fish on the way home and the rod lockers and storage hatches still smell like new when you open them up!

I agree,

I have this same package. I put a stainless on the suzuki, and the hole shot is incredible. I've never regretted having that much power behind the wheel. I've also used this to troll cranks and I can get down to 1.4 mph on the GPS.

I saw a couple of these exact boats go for over $17,000 this spring, so at $13,900 this is a steal. I guarantee this spring a guy could sell it easily around the $17,000 price range, due to the fact that boat prices have only been increasing steadily in the past few years. If I didn't already have one, I would buy it.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
