2018 Lund Z1870s Predator

What stands out on this Predator is how “fishy” the layout feels the moment you step aboard. The wide beam gives you true walk‑around room, so two or three anglers can work a spread without dancing around each other. The casting decks sit at a confidence‑building height, and that aluminum hull shrugs off stump fields, rocky shorelines, and surprise sandbars you might bump at low water. The console windshield offers just enough protection on a chilly run without blocking visibility. With the lighter weight of the hull and 90 horses on the transom, it jumps on plane quickly even loaded with bait tanks and coolers, and it’s easy to launch and retrieve solo on busy ramps.

This Predator shines in waters where you might jump from shallow flats to deeper channels in a single outing. The hull’s quick draft change lets you nose into skinny water around brush, then slide back out and comfortably run chop when the wind comes up. It’s an easy trailer tow behind a mid‑size vehicle, which suits anglers who hop between smaller lakes, rivers, and coastal launches. The open, wipe‑clean interior means less time rinsing salt or mud and more time setting lines. For anglers who split their seasons between freshwater predators and inshore species, this model is a highly practical, no‑nonsense platform.
