If I’m right and you’d ever like to take a spin in my Lund PVB 1875 let me know. The 2075 with a 250 might be a better tournament option, but you could at least see what it’s like in terms of flipping, skipping and jerk baits in a bass type boat versus high freeboard, windshield multi-species boat. And since 80% of Minnesotans troll for walleyes, I get asked all of the time how well the PVB trolls... actually fairly well with the deeper V, IPS, chine, etc... it tracks reasonably well (especially with my “Follow the Contour” Lakemaster chip and MinnKota). With the lower sides than a multi-species - would I want to troll in waves bigger than 2 feet - no. You can do it but will get wet. I have trolled on Rainy and other large bodies of water in 1-2 foot waves and it did fine... and much better than any bass boat. The bow on the PVB does sit up a little higher than your typical glass bass boat, but then again that’s due to a deeper V and therefore takes the bigger waves better and has more storage room. No issue with spearing a wave at high speeds with the PVB either - which I’ve done in a glass boat before and prefer not to do again any time soon Fry dog and Ajay, i have looked into into this more, and this seems like a great compromise and kind of a hybrid design between a glass bass and tin multi species. Fry dog, I may have to take you up on checking that out in the metro some day. You guys got me thinking! You got any help for convincing my wife of this great idea? Fishin Dad 1 Quote

Fishin Dad Here's some more info on the boat - I did these videos two years apart. I also re-powered it. Good Luck with your decision. A-Jay Quote
Fishin Dad Posted January 25, 2019 Author Posted January 25, 2019 A-Jay, That boat is SICK!! Man did you set that up well. A lot of great tweaks and upgrades. That would be amazing to fish out of. I am jealous. Thanks for posting that. Great way to get a feel for the Lund. Much appreciated!! Fishin Dad 1 Quote

Yes & No. I loved driving & detailing it, but after 10 years it was going to 'need' parts. Pontiac's been gone awhile so the timing was right. Biggest mover was that I has a motivated buyer with $$$ in hand. I would realistically never get on many of the better fish I have without her sale though. A-Jay 1 Quote

There is a Boat Show going on at the Convention Center in Minneapolis this weekend if you want to see one in person, climb in it, and look around. Quote
