Lund 2075 Pro V Review

The Pro V has long been the flagship of Lund’s fishing boat lineup for one big reason – it can carry an unbelievable amount of gear.

The company long ago figured out that serious anglers tend to own a lot of tackle, and they like to keep all that stuff close at hand just in case it’s needed. That way, if the walleye aren’t biting but the bass are, or the muskie won’t cooperate while the lake trout are eating everything in sight, they can switch equipment and tactics to quickly salvage the day.

The 2075 Pro V has an enormous bow deck with cavernous in-deck storage compartments and a useful mesh panel on each side to keep small items secured.

But carrying a lot of gear is one thing – keeping it all neatly organized and easily accessible is quite another, and that’s where the Lund 2075 Pro V really shines. The magic begins right up front on its enormous bow casting deck.

Let’s start with the obvious – the deck in just plain huge, with plenty for room for three or four anglers to fish side by side without bumping elbows. At the bow tip is a flat pad for mounting a foot-controlled electric motor, with an aluminum receptacle for a removable, pedestal-mounted seat or leaning post dead center.

A 14-gallon aerated bow casting deck is handy when the fish are biting, and can double as a bait well for minnows.

Along each side of the bow deck, wide, deep mesh contains smaller items like hook removers, sunscreen and bug spray, keeping them immediately accessible yet secured and out from under foot. Snap-in tool holders hold terminal tackle and provide a place to dry out wet lures before tucking them back away after use.

An insulated bow cooler for drinks is a thoughtful touch.

The bow deck surface has multiple lids which open to reveal huge storage compartments for bulky gear, along with a recirculating 14-gallon bow live well and a handy insulated cooler.

The bow deck houses an enormous in-floor rod locker that stows rods individually for easy access.

Step into the main cockpit of the Lund 2075 Pro V and you’ll notice a drawer on the passenger console that opens into the pass-through. This deep drawer easily holds a half-dozen or so Plano-style plastic tackle trays, keeping frequently accessed gear close to hand.

A useful drawer right over the rod locker in the passenger console stows several Plano-style tackle trays for convenient built-in tackle storage.

Beneath the deck pass-through is a huge rod locker that accommodates a load of poles in individual nooks with room to spare.

There’s even more tackle tray storage in the base of the passenger console …

… and in the base of the helm. Talk about storage capacity!

The days of fishermen carrying a big, bulging tackle box on board are long gone – today’s anglers want everything integrated right into the boat. A floor-level drawer at the base of the passenger console opens rearward to reveal space for 10 more Plano boxes, plus room for even further stuff up top in a huge, cavernous glove box.

The top of the passenger console boasts a huge glove box that’s big enough for more tackle boxes, bulk spools of line and other larger items.

There’s a matching tackle box drawer in the base of the helm console as well, providing space for another 10 lure trays.

The neat helm offers a beefy sport steering wheel and plenty of space for electronics, allowing the 2075 Pro V to accept even the largest screens made.

The helm console of the Lund 2075 Pro V is neatly arranged with a beefy brushed nickel-on0black sport steering wheel with a tilt function, a neat row of dial gauges above it and a big flat panel to starboard for temporarily stowing smaller items. There’s loads of room up top for aftermarket electronics – sort of an old-school approach to handling big screens in an age where almost everything wants to be flush-mounted into the dash panel, but Lund’s approach doesn’t limit the number or size of screens you can install. As long as you can see past them top drive, there’s plenty of room.

The helm also includes a stereo to the left of the wheel, and a handy cell phone holder and drink holder to the right.

Lund’s snap-in gunnel mounted accessories include a range of lure trays, drink holders , tool holders and other useful items.

Where the bow and stern casting decks are finished in non-slip carpet, the main cockpit flooring in the Lund 2075 Pro V is vinyl for added durability. The boat comes with two pedestal-mount seats but there’s space to add more, along with two corner jump seats neatly concealed in the raised stern casting deck.

Still not enough tackle storage for you? In-gunnel lockers eat up even more lure trays.

Need still more room for tackle? In-gunnel storage lockers flip out to provide storage space for still more Plano tackle trays. By the time you load this boat with lures, you’ve probably spent more at the tackle store than you paid for the boat!

The stern live well is a full 44 inches long to hold trophy catches.

That big stern casting deck conceals a couple of other surprises, including a huge 31-gallon, 44-inch aerated live well and a handy boarding ladder that flips out at the starboard end of the transom.

Flip-up jump seats in the stern deck fold flat when no longer needed.

Built to handle outboards of up to 300 horsepower, the Lund 2075 Pro V likes to run with maximum power, delivering a top speed of just over 60 mph to keep up with the other big-money boats in the weekend tournament. Even dropping back to a 225 V76 still provides easy planing and top speeds over 50 mph, but if you’re going to spend over $100,000 on a fishing boat, you may as well go all the way and opt for maximum power to enjoy all the performance it’s truly capable of.

Rated to handle outboards of up to 300 horsepower, Lund’s 2075 pro V is a legitimate 60 mph boat – even with a full tournament load.

If you’re a serious angler, you already know why the Lund 2075 Pro V is considered among the best boats on the water. And if you’re a newbie, now you know what all the fuss is about. For the multi-species angler who likes to be ready for anything, this is about as good as it gets.
