Test / Lund 2175 Pro-V, a top-of-the-range fishing boat for wealthy anglers

Lund offers many advantages, but expect to write a big check

The 2175 Pro-V is positioned at the top end of its class. A position justified by its performance and equipment, and reflected in its price. High-end ambitions in a hotly contested segment. This is the subject of our fourth and final part.

With its length, design and finish, the Lund 2175 Pro-V is somewhat unique on the market. It's also one of the only ones to offer this much power. These characteristics come at a price, as the Lund starts at $108,000, a rather high entry ticket even if it's well-equipped from the beginning.

It's hard to find a direct competitor, since most boats in this category stop at 19 feet. This is the case, for example, with the Tracker 19-foot Targa V-19 combo, with a starting price of under $50,000. The same is true of the Ranger VX 1988 WT, already a top-of-the-range model with a starting price of $66,000.

The Duckworth 21 Discovery, also 21 feet long and with comparable equipment, is one of the only boats to come close to matching this figure, with a starting price of around $100,000.

This is still a high price for an open fishing boat, even if the aluminum construction is built to last.

Price aside, it's hard not to fall in love with this boat. Pleasant to drive, comfortable, well-built and packed with storage compartments and tricks to make life easier for the angler, the Lund 2175 Pro-V also offers enough versatility to take your family aboard, offering an additional advantage.
