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.

      On the south end...   The big basin, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  Zippel Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  Everything is shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. With the walleye / sauger season currently closed, most anglers are targeting sturgeon and pike.  Some sturgeon anglers are fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River, but most sturgeon are targeted in Four Mile Bay or the Rainy River.  Hence, pike are the targeted species on the south shore and various bays currently.   Pike fishing this time of year is a unique opportunity, as LOW is border water with Canada, the pike season is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn.  Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.   Four Mile Bay, Bostic Bay and Zippel Bay are all small water and boats of various sizes work well. On the Rainy River...  Great news this week as we learned sturgeon will not be placed on the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.     The organization had to make a decision by June 30 and listing sturgeon could have ended sturgeon fishing.  Thankfully, after looking at the many success stories across the nation, including LOW and the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing and successful sturgeon management continues.   A good week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  Speaking to some sturgeon aficionados, fishing will actually get even better as water temps rise.     Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River near the Wheeler's Point Boat Ramp is still producing good numbers of fish, as are various holes along the 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  A few spots with rotten ice, but as a rule, most of the Angle is showing off open water.  In these parts, most are looking ahead to the MN Fishing Opener.  Based on late ice fishing success, it should be a good one.

      Nice fish. I moved to the Sartell area last summer and just thought it was windy like this everyday up here? 🤭

      Crazy windy again today.... This is has been the norm this spring. Between the wind and the cold fronts, fishing has been more challenging for me than most years.  Panfish have been moving in and out of the shallows quite a bit. One day they are up in the slop, the next they are out relating to cabbage or the newly sprouting lilly pads.  Today eye guy and I found them in 4-5 ft of water, hanging close to any tree branches that happened to be laying in the water.  Bigger fish were liking a 1/32 head and a Bobby Garland baby shad.   Highlight of the day way this healthy 15incher
