For hunters and river anglers who want the 1660 concept with an extra foot, a fifth passenger position, and optional steering wheel control, the 1760 Predator stands out because the 1760 is where Predator ownership splits into two distinct experiences: a tiller for maximum open floor or a side console for easier long-distance driving.
The Lund 1760 Predator sits in the range for a specific use case rather than as a generic step between two prices. The Lund 1760 Predator measures 17′, carries a 85″ beam, is rated to 75 HP, and applies the Predator design brief to purpose-built hunting, bowfishing, catfishing, and river utility with camo-friendly open layouts and Mod-V running surfaces.
The 1760 Predator is the middle choice between the 1660 Predator and 1870 Predator. At 17′ with a 85″ beam, it should appeal to buyers who have outgrown the 1660 Predator but cannot point to a regular reason for accepting the 1870 Predator’s larger footprint, power, and ownership cost.
The 1760 Predator can be found with tiller and side-console, so steering choice changes the boat more than a trim badge would suggest; a tiller preserves floor area, a console relocates the driver, and a windshield version trades some openness for weather protection.
The 1760 Predator is aimed at this use case: Hunters and river anglers who want the 1660 concept with an extra foot, a fifth passenger position, and optional steering wheel control; the 1660 Predator is aimed at this one: Duck hunting, backwater fishing, muddy rivers, and buyers who want a purpose-built camo utility hull with a true fishing layout. The deck decision should follow those two jobs before it follows horsepower or price.
For a Lund 1760 Predator, financing should come after this fit test.
Published factory figures. Confirm every dimension against the individual boat before you commit.
The 1760 Predator starts with a 17′ hull and 85″ beam, but the useful hull question is what those dimensions let this Predator do. In this case, the 1760 Predator is built for muddy rivers, backwaters, hunting routes, and shallow fishing water where a Mod-V hull and open utility layout are more useful than deep freeboard. For the 1760 Predator, the published construction description is .100 in bottom; .100 in freeboard; Mod-V.
The 1760 Predator is more likely to show its history on the bottom than in the upholstery. On the 1760 Predator, inspect the modified-V utility hull for stump or rock strikes, bank abrasion, bent spray rails, seat-base movement, transom distortion, and damage where a small trailer or pickup-bed transport has concentrated load.
For the 1760 Predator, the nearest physical comparison is the 1660 Predator, which measures 16′ on a 85″ beam and is rated to 50 HP. The 1760 Predator is 17′ on 85″ with 75 HP. The differences around the 1760 Predator should show up in usable room, trailer fit, and the conditions the boat can handle comfortably. If those differences do not solve a recurring problem for the 1760 Predator, the extra hull is only extra ownership burden.
For the 1760 Predator, Lund lists 742 to 884 lb depending on configuration as the published boat-weight reference for this configuration. For the 1760 Predator, that is not the tow-ready number.
Lund rates the 1760 Predator to 75 HP. For the 1760 Predator, the published power ceiling belongs beside the tiller and side-console layout and this intended use: Hunters and river anglers who want the 1660 concept with an extra foot, a fifth passenger position, and optional steering wheel control.
Because the 1760 Predator can appear with tiller and side-console, two examples of the same hull can feel like different boats. For the 1760 Predator, a tiller preserves floor area and direct low-speed control. For the 1760 Predator, a wheel moves the operator forward. For the 1760 Predator, a windshield version adds protection but occupies more cockpit.
Power is one difference between the 1760 Predator and 1660 Predator. Lund publishes 75 HP for the 1760 Predator and 50 HP for the 1660 Predator. Sea-trial the 1760 Predator and 1660 Predator with realistic load, then compare time to plane, midrange response, steering effort and control at the speeds the owner will actually use. For the 1760 Predator, horsepower alone should not decide between them.
For the exact outboard on a used 1760 Predator, begin with a cold start and service history. On the 1760 Predator, inspect the gearcase, skeg, propeller, mounting hardware, steering, charging output, fuel lines and rigging.
The 1760 Predator carries 20-gallon fuel capacity. For the 1760 Predator, that tells you how much fuel can be stored, not how far the boat will travel.
For the 1760 Predator, the published speed reference is 33 to 35 mph. On the 1760 Predator, treat that as a setup reference rather than a cruise target.
Fuel setup is still worth comparing between the 1760 Predator and 1660 Predator. The 1760 Predator uses 20-gallon fuel capacity; the 1660 Predator uses configuration-specific fuel storage. On the 1760 Predator, verify the exact tanks and routing on the boats being considered, then judge range from measured burn and the owner’s normal route rather than assuming the larger hull automatically travels farther.
On the 1760 Predator, keep fuel outside the loan payment when testing affordability. That is especially important for the 1760 Predator because its intended use is specific: Hunters and river anglers who want the 1660 concept with an extra foot, a fifth passenger position, and optional steering wheel control.
Performance on the 1760 Predator is about shallow-water control and usable bow entry. On the 1760 Predator, run across river chop and boat wakes at sensible speed, then idle through the kind of tight water where the modified-V shape matters.
For the 1760 Predator, the 1660 Predator is the useful control in the comparison. The 1660 Predator measures 16′ with a 85″ beam and 50 HP maximum power; the 1760 Predator is 17′ with 85″ and 75 HP.
If the exact 1760 Predator is slow to plane, porpoises, ventilates in turns or requires unusual steering effort, separate setup from hull design before drawing a conclusion. Propeller pitch, engine height, damaged blades, battery placement, excessive stern load and an outboard that is not producing full power can all create behavior that another correctly rigged 1760 Predator will not share.
The deck is where the 1760 Predator either proves or disproves its fit. The 1760 Predator is aimed at this buyer and use case: Hunters and river anglers who want the 1660 concept with an extra foot, a fifth passenger position, and optional steering wheel control.
On this 1760 Predator, fish-holding equipment is listed as 18-gallon front livewell; the capacity rating is 5 people. Those are not abstract specifications. On the 1760 Predator, open and operate the livewell with nearby seats or gear in normal positions and place the normal crew where they will sit, stand, fish or ride.
At the 1760 Predator control position (tiller and side-console), check sightlines, throttle reach and the path around the controls after electronics are mounted. For the 1760 Predator, the operator position should support a purpose-built hunting and river workspace where camouflage, gear movement, rod handling, and optional steering layouts matter. If the 1760 Predator helm steals the floor area the buyer needs most often, compare a different steering configuration before financing.
Walk the 1760 Predator and 1660 Predator back to back if possible. For the 1760 Predator, the 1660 Predator is aimed at this use case: Duck hunting, backwater fishing, muddy rivers, and buyers who want a purpose-built camo utility hull with a true fishing layout.
Use these eight 1760 Predator features as a hands-on checklist and verify each item on the exact boat being purchased.
Inspect the 1760 Predator tiller or side console for secure mounting, clear sightlines and hardware that operates without looseness or binding.
Use the 1760 Predator mod-v hull as a model-specific comparison point, then verify the related structure, labels or installed hardware on the actual boat.
On the 1760 Predator, inspect camo hunting finishes for condition, secure mounting and practical access before treating it as included value.
On the 1760 Predator, inspect open gear space for condition, secure mounting and practical access before treating it as included value.
The 1760 Predator systems review should reflect trolling power, navigation lights, hunting or fishing accessories, livewell equipment where fitted, and owner-added wiring exposed to mud, water, and hard use. On the 1760 Predator, start with batteries, charging, main circuit protection, bilge equipment, navigation lights and the electronics included in the sale. On the 1760 Predator, trace owner-added wiring far enough to understand where it is fused and grounded; expensive fishing hardware adds little value when the underlying installation is unreliable.
Lund lists 18-gallon front livewell for the 1760 Predator. For the 1760 Predator, fill and drain the system, run recirculation or aeration functions that are actually fitted, and look into neighboring compartments for leakage.
On the 1760 Predator, finish with the trailer and outboard rigging. On the 1760 Predator, inspect trailer lights, tires, bearings, winch, safety chains, bunks or rollers and brakes where fitted, then check the transom wiring and steering as the outboard turns from lock to lock.
The 1760 Predator is normally a day boat, so dock and storage fit should be settled before closing. For the 1760 Predator, the hull is 17′ long and 85″ wide, but the complete package adds trailer tongue, outboard position, windshield or console height, trolling motor, guide posts and accessories.
For the 1760 Predator, the published boat-weight reference is 742 to 884 lb depending on configuration. Add the selected outboard, trailer, 20 gallons of fuel, batteries, electronics and normal gear before matching the 1760 Predator to a tow vehicle.
In New Hampshire and other freeze climates, the 1760 Predator also needs a winter plan that matches its equipment. On the 1760 Predator, protect the outboard and fuel system, manage batteries, drain pumps or plumbing that are actually fitted, and prevent water from pooling under the cover.
Use the gallery to check the spaces that specifications cannot explain: helm room, rod-loading angles, cockpit depth, livewell access, stern boarding and trailer support. On the 1760 Predator, those views help confirm the core design point: the 1760 is where Predator ownership splits into two distinct experiences: a tiller for maximum open floor or a side console for easier long-distance driving.
On the 1760 Predator, value can move with the outboard, model year, engine hours, trailer, electronics, trolling motor, batteries, steering configuration, package equipment and documented maintenance.
On the 1760 Predator, configuration should explain the price difference. For the 1760 Predator, steering layout, fishing equipment, family-use hardware, engine package and trailer can change how two examples work even when the hull badge is identical.

A new Lund 1760 Predator should be delivered as the exact package that was priced. On the 1760 Predator, confirm the outboard and propeller, tiller and side-console equipment, batteries, electronics, trolling motor, trailer, fishing hardware and any family-use options before accepting the boat. For the 1760 Predator, the goal is not to maximize equipment.
For a used 1760 Predator, connect hull condition to the way this family is normally used. On the 1760 Predator, inspect the bottom and transom, then cold-start the outboard, review service history, test steering, electronics and pumps that are fitted, and inspect the trailer.
For the 1760 Predator, a private-party purchase adds paperwork that should be resolved before funds move. On the 1760 Predator, confirm seller ownership, lien payoff when applicable, hull identification number, engine serial number, trailer title or registration requirements and the bill of sale. Dealer and brokerage purchases can simplify some steps, but none of the three routes replaces inspecting the actual 1760 Predator and verifying what equipment is included.
If the search keeps producing both a 1760 Predator and 1660 Predator, use the difference as a buying filter rather than shopping two nearly random boats.
