I have the motor trimmed down right now. It measures 19’7”.
Motor trimmed up it’s around 20’4” give or take with the tongue broke down.

Since I’m here, a little update.
This boat rocks. I have two full seasons on it and probably around 80 hours on the motor. No issues other than finding time to fish more.
115 etec HO pushes this boat typically around 44 mph. Perfect conditions I’ve seen 46 with a blimp of 47. Typical quiet running around 37 mph. Fuel economy cruising around 25.
I had to run a 19 pitch Viper prop and could honestly go up more if they made a 20. I can still over rev most cases even fully loaded.
Boat jumps on plane instantly as well. No creep whatsoever. Especially once you hit the power band at 4200 rpm. Too bad they quit making them.
Boat fishes great. Very stable especially for my 2 and 5 year old. Rod storage is superb. It’s honestly a great boat for the price.
I have two gripes. Not that they’re that bad. First I wish I could lock the front two large storage compartments. Second is the fuel gauge. I have a 22 gallon tank. After I burn about 11 gallons it shows empty. I wish it was closer to 18 gallons before it showed empty. But I can go to a fishing vacation and make it all week with long runs on about 30 gallons of gas. (Take two 5 gallon jugs with)
Let me know if you have any other specific questions.

Interesting – I have a 2019 Impact 1775 and my first “real” boat. Has a 30 gal tank. Went fishing all weekend on the Mississippi and the gauge was reading almost empty so we just went upstream so I could trolling motor back if needed. Filled her up at the pump and put in 16 gallons?!

This is a common probnlem with all Lunds, and probably other brands too. The senders in the tank can’t cope properly with the slosh of the fuel in the long, narrow, shallow tanks, and read empty when the tank is about 1/2 full. No workaround except to track your fuel usage manually or use vessel view mobile if you have a Merc engine, and even that requires manually entering how much fuel you add each time you refill to be accurate.

I just open the door to the aft battery storage and look at the tank.

There was an issue with the original sending unit on my 1999 Lund. The dealer replaced it but I don’t know the brand. Every quarter tank was 5 gallons and worked for 20+ years until I traded it in last year.

Took my 1675 Adventure out yesterday for a couple hours. When loading back up I noticed there was water in the livewell, about 2-3 inches. Anyone else have this issue? The plug was
in and it was not leaking out of the drain. Does it ever fill when running in reverse through the overfill or intake?

The overfill will let water in sometimes. I would think it’d be more apt to happen going in reverse more than normal especially in rough or current areas.
I typically leave my plug out, it’ll have a bit of water on the bottom sloshing around but never fills up, that I’ve noticed.

Make sure all your plumbing hose clamps are tight too. You never know.

One more question. In your Adventures where is the onboard charger located. I had a 2 bank I took out that was in the upper portion of the rod locker. I want to move the new 3 bank to the lower portion of the rod locker due to reels hitting it. Is it fine to mount down below there? The old one was screwed right into the metal, is that fine or do I need some sort of barrier. I have attached two pictures of where it might fit.

I mounted mine where yours is now.

I used a fastener called “well nuts” that are encased in rubber. In fact someone on this forum suggested them to me.

Look them up on the internet so you can see what I am talking about. There are you tube videos on using well nuts too.

They worked great.

Got the boys to install a trim gauge before I picked it up!
I totally forgot about it until I picked it up. Looks factory.

My Impact came with a trim gauge right next to the fuel gauge but I like your dash layout better

Hey guys, love the new boat. Only had it out a couple times…but my luck hasn’t been good.

I’ve encountered two problems.

1. The cover seems super tight at the front where the 4 snaps are.

I’ve already lost one snap on the front right side of the cover…
Anyone else had this issue?

2. Came outside to the driveway today and noticed a massive apple shaped bubble in the sidewall of the trailer tire….brutal!

Never hit anything and I’m assuming its a defect in what is a brand new tire, with less than 250km on it.

I have a brand new 1875 impact and have the same issue with the cover. They could have gave a little extra lee way on fabric for it to stretch .

The cover – TIGHT!!!
I put the snaps on either side first,

the snap on the boat that they snap onto slides fore and aft so move it to make it easier.

It seemed to snap easier if i laid the rest of the cover in the bow while I put the snaps on and allowed me to pull on the back corners easier. Once I had one summer under my belt I can now lay the whole cover on. snap the front into place and just go down each side in turn.
yes, TIGHT, but I like it better that way…
BTW, my snap on the back left inside by the ladder broke the first summer. It holds down the flap back there so no real biggee

I have a new 2021 Adventure Sport on order since December 2020. It was built in April but not receive yet. I had a 2004 Pro V 1900 for 16 years and was fantastic boat. I have retired and no longer needed that big of a rig and the adventure will fit in my 2 car garage. Fish alone 90 % 0f the time and will be much more handy to solo launch.

My new 1775 Lund Adventure Sport finally arrived at my Dealer this past week. They are installing my 2 Helix 8s and Ulterra. Hoping to try it out this weekend. It took 7 months from the time of order.
