IMO you should consider the value to someone else between the standard 115 and Pro XS if you sell the boat down the road.
I’d opt for the Pro XS if it were my boat. I think most people in the market opt-for or desire the Pro XS.
Good job fixing.
Maybe not as severe but I took mine in for 20 hour service (oil change, etc). I took it out fishing for a few hours and came back home.
A few days later I pulled the cowling off the outboard. It was over 1 quart low and the so-called mechanic shoved an empty potato chip bag under the wiring.
I didn’t mind the bag as much but not making sure they filled up the engine properly set me off.
Quite a conversation with the dealer after that. Never went back. And yes I should have checked it before using it.
Great job Umi. Glad things seem to be working out for you and for your never-say-die attitude to keep fishing.
If it as intense as you say by giving you headaches, etc., I’d tow it back to the dealer and tell them to keep it for a week. Obviously something is wrong somewhere.
If the dealer is reasonably close, let them send someone to your home when the fumes are evident.
DON’T start taking floors or anything else apart. It may affect your warranty or you might produce a spark that will ignite the fumes.
Your boat is NOT safe to use in this condition and I wouldn’t store it near your house or in a garage until the problem is discovered and fixed.
If the dealer continues to not own up to the problem a call to Lund should be made or letter to Lund from and attorney should be produced.
Sold
NEW PRICE $25,000 (NEGOTIABLE)
I am forced to sell my Adventure.
I had to sell my pick-up truck because my wife could no longer get into it due to her handicap and I can no longer leave her alone to fish. I had to buy a car and I no longer have a vehicle I can tow with.

Just got the boat home on 4/16 from heated inside storage and now in my garage and I’ll be dusting off the winter.
Normal dock rash and is touched up with Lund Red paint. Other than this, the boat is pretty much in new condition. Floors are solid as a rock.I will also be changing all the fluids (oil and lower unit), replacing the fuel filters, and greasing all zerk fittings on engine providing I can get the boat pulled out of my garage by hand. If not, oil, filters (gas and oil), gear lube with gaskets for drain screws, and prop shaft grease will be given to the buyer.
Oil and gear case lube has about 15 hours since last fluid change in March 2020.
Boat was used in Lake Erie only
Boat is located at home in the garage in Elyria, Ohio (about 30 miles west of Cleveland). Being I no longer have a tow vehicle so picking it up here will be needed.
Sorry I do not know how to add pictures here but I can email some to you.
Over our lives, we sell cars, boats, campers, etc. Most of those items we liked but didn’t perhaps miss after a short period of time, etc.
This one will be different when it sells.
This was my little getaway from life, that isn’t treating my wife and I very well, or a place I could go to and experience a little normalcy.
Most times I fished alone, no radio blaring music or talking heads. Just the boat, myself, and sometimes a fish or two.
It won’t be easy letting it go.
Thanks for your message mxskeeter. I really appreciate it.
Yes it is a great boat to fish from. Figures that I have to sell it now that I’ve got it set-up just the way I want it.
I do have a fishing friend with a boat. The problem is I cannot leave my wife long enough to make a go at it.
We have a pond at our campground where I’ll be able to fish. My wife can join me in her wheelchair so at least I can wet a line.
Mine has a small white button at base that you have to push in order to pull it out.
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.
Make sure all your plumbing hose clamps are tight too. You never know.
Great job.
I have TC on my 2019 Mercury 60 HP CT. Mine will troll down to 700 RPM and it is located on my tiller arm.
How slow you can go depends on the wind, it’s direction, and waves. Generally I can troll down to 1 MPH or less on the GPS.
I was fitted at the dealer for the placement of my seat (1675 Adventure). Do you currently have a bench seat or a swivel seat (with padding)?
If you have a swivel seat you may need to move it a little to a spot that fits you better.

I have a 2019 Adventure. I’ve never taken it out at night. The light strips on mine are about 12 inches long and one is up towards the bow and one at the rear, both under the gunnel.
I am sure they will be very subtle as far as brightness. Probably bright enough to illuminate the inside if you were looking for something in the boat.
I for one would never use them underway. If they were bright enough they would certainly diminish your night vision.
Found them at Jerry’s boat catalog online
They are called Lund Qwik Clip Sporttrak Bracket. I tried to attach the web site address but it won’t allow me for some reason.
Well there you go GW. You just created a small business for yourself. Funny how things work out.
Have not had that problem on any boats I’ve owned in the past.
Perhaps if you could take some pictures of the windshield and the struts holding it in place someone can make a suggestion.
X4 Yep circuit breaker
My Adventure had the same problem last season. Went to work on it tightening all of the clamps in the bilge. But I took it into the dealer for service in March.
When I bought it new last year they mounted the transducer to a piece of starboard which was mounted to the transom. It wasn’t sealed completely and was the cause of the leak.
They fixed it and now I am dry as it should be. Just a thought to check this out if you have this set up.
My dealer installed a top that has the vertical sport track brackets and hardware for attaching the tops frame. Shouldn’t be a big deal. Just contact your dealer.
Hi Nolan and welcome.
I have a 2019 1675 Adventure and it’s the tiller model. Max HP is only 60HP but I thought I’d chime in on the model boat anyway.
I’m pretty happy with my Adventure especially the layout. With a tiller model you pick up lots of fishing room because of the lack of a helm, whether it’s a single helm or walk-thru windshield.
The only drawback, and it’s a minor one for me, is there is no protection from the elements of a windshield.
The live well is great on this boat. Fortunately I get lots of use from it.
Performance with my 60HP Mercury with 2 or 3 adults (including me) in the boat is MAYBE a little under 30 MPH on the GPS. Alone I can get 33 MPH perhaps. Never really worried about it because I don’t beat the boat to death.
It’s a very stable boat, easy to launch and retrieve if I’m alone which is most of the time. You’ll find lots of storage space including the rod locker in the bow.
I also installed a Rhodan 24V 60 lb. thrust trolling motor over the winter which works great. Lund installed the battery frames (2) and the wiring under the rod holders at the factory which was a big help with the installation.
I am sure there will be others chiming in to help you. Good luck.
Kyle your solution is buy a tiller and stretch your legs.
Great solution! That is what I have and I can still use some height.
Same here with my 1675 Adventure. I’m 6′ tall and would love to raise mine a couple of inches. Would feel better with my knee replacement.
Thanks Dutchboy.
I ended up buying a piece of 1/4″ steel plate.
A buddy of mine who has a machine shop cut it to fit the mount for the trolling motor, drilled the holes, and deburred it. He has another friend who powder coats so he is going to get that done for me to prevent rust.
When I get it back I’ll be working on putting the TM on the boat.
Hot Runr Guy, I mounted my charger today after getting the well nuts. Thanks for the tip on the well nuts. They work GREAT!
The charger is doing it’s job now charging all 3 batteries so I didn’t screw that up. Next will be the trolling motor but I’m going to wait for a little warmer day for that.
Thanks again for your help.
