Thanks for watching! As mentioned in this video I published a video on my battery charging set up. I've found an effective way to charge lithium batteries off my engine's alternator. The video can be found here : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNFxg7mQ19WpmIE.html

Never understood why people are so obsessed with center console boats, tillers deliver so much more floor space and simplicity. This is an awesome set up, light, simple, and a workhorse of a boat. Love it

I agree but when I'm trying to travel across the lake with good sized waves and getting blasted in the face with water from the boat crashing down in the waves I think how nice it would be to behind a windshield but overall the added room and control with a tiller makes up for it

I keep looking at these Alaskans ! Looks like a great all around hunting and fishing boat. Thanks

I'm really impressed by the stability and relatively shallow minimal water depth for navigation. I'm curious how it will handle large waves. Once I have more experience with the boat I'll produce another video

I have a rapid video of me using my 18 foot Lund boat. Sv18 Lund. The 18 foot could handle 8 foot waves no problem. It’s a beast against big lake waves. Also big rapids. I wish I had a new 18 foot Lund boat like yours. But I’m happy with mines. The 18 Lund is never gonna let you down.

Sounds like some wild times! I have no doubt the boat could handle large waves with careful positioning and at slow speeds. I'm curious how beat up I'll feel after the experience though haha.

Those cranks have two handles, the main one, and a tab behind you have to also grab for it to winch. I have them on my Hyde drift boat. They are pretty slick!

Great boat! I sure do miss the ones that had wide gunnels though. So safe/comfortable/stronger/ maneuverability/mounting real rod holders/and better to keep the kids in. You had a thin table close no matter where you were on the boat. The best ones started smaller at the rear, then tapered out wider towards the front. It just was plain cool. Good luck to ya'! ~M.M.

Thanks M.M. my first boat had that design. It was a 1970s something 14 ft with a Johnson 15 hp 2 stroke. It was one sweet rig!

Nice setup! The trolling motor batteries are connected together on that right front battery compartment, from what I saw. It would be a good idea to check that the transducer is not installed too low by the water spray on the back too.

Good decision on the graph placement. Tillers seem to usually have the graphs on the left probably because of backtrolling. But, I never back troll anymore since I have iPilot link. I moved my graphs to a similar placement as yours and like it far better for the reasons you stated.

@LivingHighWildFree Ай бұрын

Thanks Don. I haven't been able to use the boat much yet so I'm happy to hear you like a similar graph placement. Having a graph on the port side makes sense in a small boat but I can't see the advantage in a larger boat like the 1875

It's lithium ion. Big difference

I’m looking at ordering the same boat. I wish the seat bases weren’t spread out up the centerline. I do a lot of crabbing and having the bases situated that way eats up a lot of space.

@LivingHighWildFree 27 күн бұрын

I noticed on Lund's website under the build a boat feature that there was some different seat options. Maybe there's a way to customize the floor plan. If not the seats are easy to remove to make as much room as possible

how does the tacoma do pulling the boat

@LivingHighWildFree 24 күн бұрын

It's does pretty okay. The boat is well balanced on the trailer so there's relatively minimal weight on the tongue and the engine has enough power to pull the boat in any condition. I plan on upsizing to a 1/2 ton next year because to generate enough power the V6 has to be in high RPM. Which adds a lot of stress to different driveline components and not so good gas mileage. For short trips it wouldn't be a big deal but I'll be traveling hundreds of miles on rough roads which the Tacoma was not designed for and it shows.

Is your 90 HP easy to steer at higher speeds?

@LivingHighWildFree 9 күн бұрын

Yeah very easy to steer

@malcolmsmith4007 Ай бұрын

Why didn’t you go with the 115hp Yamaha the 90 an 115 both weigh the same an there the same height an width

@LivingHighWildFree Ай бұрын

Good question! There's a couple different reasons I went with the f90. In no particular order, first being fuel efficiency. Like I said in the video I'll be travel to very remote areas and fuel consumption is one of my top concerns. Second, I did not want to exceed the maximum hp rating for the boat so I would not violate Lund's warranty conditions. Third, there is about a 25 lb difference between the two engines. Admittedly that is not much but like I said in the video I will be driving long stretches on rough road and I want to keep the stress on the transom as low as possible. Lastly I likely would not need the extra horse power. Honestly 90 hp is overkill for most of my applications but when I do need the extra horse power it will be nice to have. Thanks for watching and your thoughtful question
