Lund 2075 ProvBass update #1

Nothing was ever done. I still have the boat and still like it. Just have to get used to the quirks that it has and this is one of them. I put towels in the front compartments on day trips so they soak up water if it is going to rain. That sucks but that is how it is. Can't defeat gravity with this design up front. I haven't looked that the 2019 and newer ones to see if they may have this issue resolved but from the pics I've seen they look the same up there to me.

I just got my 2020 1875, and the way the bow area looks, I'd say
the wet problem still exists. Its never going to be a problem for me, I dont
fish in the rain. If this boat is ever wet on the topside, it will be by accident.

One thing that will help you if you order one of these models, select the vinyl
floor option. Vinyl will be in all compartments, which is a non issue if it gets
wet. If you choose a carpeted main floor, carpet will be in all compartments,
Drying them out is a problem in itself. LDS

Amazing for the price of these rigs that they are not dry. Love the layout of the XS, fits my family.

I priced one out, fully loaded, 2 12" graphs, ultrex, 250 4 stroke. It was 62k

I just watched a video of the 2018 1875 pro v bass & I can see the gap in the left & rt side cover plates & were it could easily get water intrusion. It looks like a great boat & hopefully they will address this problem soon in the future.

I was really interested in one of these boats, but it seems like from what I'm reading and seeing on multiple forums they really don't care about their customers. I can't imagine they wouldn't address these concerns that this owner has or is having with his boat leaking in the storage compartments. From a design standpoint this couldn't be that big of an issue to resolve from the design team. For this owner to have to put towels in his compartments to keep them somewhat dry is SAD to read and especially with a boat with a price tag of upwards of 60K.

Is it that difficult to design an aluminum boat with dry storage?

[Great Scott]

I dont know how difficult it is, but when the company makes no attempt at all
to dry in the rear compartments of the XS model, that says alot about their
customer concern.
As previously stated I have no intentions of mine ever being in the rain, but
should that happen, what I will carry in those compartments will be in something
water proof. LDS

I imagine it's more difficult to make compartments dry in tin boats, which may be why Vexus went with the glass tubs in all their compartments? Not engineering a solution to the bow panel seems weak though, especially after all the effort to make rain channels and raised lips on the bow compartments.

[Mechanic Bob]

I know it would be costly to forma lip on each compartment and the seal the seams. But you would think there is some Gasket Manufacturer that could make a Lip type seal to funnel the water to a drain hole.

[Great Scott]

For yrs Bullet has used the raised lip with a bulb seal. The lid is foam lined.
When the two mate you have a very good seal.
Lund could do this but they dont on the XS model rear compartments.
