Brettiop Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Well i have been searching for my first boat for a few months now, finally found one that i like and made an offer! I was mostly interested in a good musky casting rig, with the ability to go out on the big lakes and troll steelhead/salmon when needed, i think i found the perfect rig for my needs. Not to big, but can handle the rough water if needed 1992, Lund 1890 PROv dlx 1992 115 Merc 2012 9.9 Suzuki kicker It came with some Big Jon downriggers and some downriggin rods and tackle as well. Love the boat! got out last night for the maiden voyage and managed to land the first fish in the new rig, that was awesome! Had multiple other follows and a few lost fish as well, they will have to wait until next time. My brother also got a nice pike...couldn't keep his musky pinned though... Manged to hit 42.5 MPH with 4 ppl and a dog on board, was surprised at that.
glenner Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Very nice looking rig, seems to be in great shape for a 1992! Enjoy.
BillM Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 That thing must haul ass with a 115 2-stroke on the back, lol!! Nice rig.
Joeytier Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Very nice rig. Many, many years of life left in that rig still!
2 tone z71 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 awesome and congrats..that's a great first boat...those older Lunds are built to last
kennyman Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Nice first boat !!! I still have a 14ft tinny with an 8hp yammy.
Brettiop Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys, I'm super impressed with the boat so far, The previous owner took out all the old carpet and re-did with Nautolex Marine vinyl. I much prefer this, the carpets are hard to clean and look bad when faded/roughed up, I think that's why it looks like such good condition. I looked at so many boats over this search, starcraft/crestliner/legend/tracker you name it....never really considered lund because most were 2-3000 over my budget... This one had more horsepower and was longer/wider then pretty much everything i was looking at, so the decision was easy when it popped up right at the top edge of my budget. Had to drive 3.5 hours to go get her on a moments notice, well worth it! Edited September 17, 2014 by Brettiop
Tim Mills Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 you got some good value added items galv trailer, riggers. kicker congrats and nice fish
fishnsled Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Ya done good! Sweet ride!! Congrats
AKRISONER Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 mega jealous of this fishing rig, the downrigging gear is a steal anyways!
asdve23rveavwa Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Enjoy!!! Really nice looking rig, especially for a '92!
linweir Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Previous owner must maintain the boat well. Seems its carpet has been replaced. Congrat.
mistaredone Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Nice rig man! Looks like you made a good choice.
fishindevil Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 wow !!! awesome rig man...and its a big prov lund....no problems with big water there...she is great shape too,many years left on her too...great choice
Thrilla Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Beauty boat and nice fish to slime it for the first time!
Pigeontroller Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Nice boat, and nice Muskie! Its a spotty, very interesting colours, definately not a Pike.
davey buoy Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Congrats,sweet boat as said,also not bad results for a first run!!!!. Enjoy.
kickingfrog Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Very nice. Put a ton of gasoline through it because this winter is going to seem like the coming of the next ice-age while you wait for spring. Edited September 17, 2014 by kickingfrog
davey buoy Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Looks also like a front bow electric may be added soon.Perfect package.
RickOnt Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 First Boat Exciting times for sure! Great looking rig, For a fishing boat the Vinyl floor is way better than carpet.
Djeep Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 awesome purchase! I recently just upgraded and I love my alumacraft/etec but I did see that rig pop up on kijiji and thought it was a excellent deal! im glad to see that it went to an OFC member. thats one super versatile boat and perfect for your intentions. congrats. good luck with the slime this fall.
Old Ironmaker Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 You are going to love that rig. And you will thank yourself for going at least 18'. I love the dual council, you fishing partner will love it too. You get so much more deck space than the full wind shield and a few 100 pounds lighter to boot.
Brettiop Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Posted September 18, 2014 Thanks everyone! And old iron maker, the dual console is nice for sure. Also sweet how it can pop off with 4 screws if i want a bigger casting deck up front. Probably going to try that tonight if it isn't to wavy out there
