The Lund Predator family is built around purpose-built hunting, bowfishing, catfishing, and river utility with camo-friendly open layouts and Mod-V running surfaces.
The Lund Predator is not simply a group of boats sharing a name; the family exists for purpose-built hunting, bowfishing, catfishing, and river utility with camo-friendly open layouts and Mod-V running surfaces. That makes anglers and hunters who need gear space, shallow-water practicality, and steering choices instead of a deep-V family cockpit the starting buyer profile, while rivers, reservoirs, backwaters, and hunting water describes the environment in which the series makes the most sense.
The main Lund Predator compromise is specific: Predator versatility is centered on rivers and shallow utility; buyers who spend most of their time crossing rough open water should choose a deeper hull family. A Lund Predator buyer should accept that limitation only when the family advantage appears more often than the compromise. If the drawback shows up every trip, moving sideways to another Lund family is more rational than buying a larger Predator and hoping size fixes the mismatch.
The current Lund Predator lineup in this guide is 1660 Predator, 1760 Predator, 1870 Predator, 2070 Predator.
The Lund Predator family uses Mod-V aluminum utility hull and aluminum construction to support rivers, reservoirs, backwaters, and hunting water. For the Lund Predator, that design statement should be tested model by model because beam, bottom structure, transom, cockpit depth, steering and power can change enough to alter where the boat feels comfortable.
For a used Lund Predator, the inspection should follow the material and mission. An aluminum Predator that has spent its life in rivers, reservoirs, backwaters, and hunting water deserves attention at the hull, transom, trailer support, steering, outboard, electrical system, pumps when fitted, and every owner-added accessory mount; a clean seat base or polished cowl does not answer those condition questions.
The useful model thresholds in the Lund Predator range are these: 1660 Predator 16′ / 50 HP; 1760 Predator 17′ / 75 HP; 1870 Predator 18′ / 75 HP tiller / 90 HP side console / 105 HP center console; 2070 Predator 20′ / 150 HP. For the Lund Predator, those figures show where the buyer begins accepting more trailer, engine, fuel and storage burden in exchange for capability instead of treating every step up as an automatic upgrade.
The best alternative to a Lund Predator is not automatically the next series up in price. A useful cross-shop removes the Predator compromise while accepting a different one, which is why these neighboring families deserve attention.
From the Lund Predator page, compare the Lund Renegade when its buyer profile is closer to the way the owner actually boats: bass and panfish anglers who care more about casting surface and shallow access than deep freeboard.
Compare the Lund Alaskan when its buyer profile is closer to the way the owner actually boats: camp owners, remote-water anglers, and people who would rather have usable floor area than extra upholstery.
Compare the Lund Mod Jon Boat when its buyer profile is closer to the way the owner actually boats: river anglers and waterfowl hunters who need shallow access but encounter more chop or current than a tiny flat Jon is comfortable with.
The current Lund Predator models covered here are 1660 Predator, 1760 Predator, 1870 Predator, 2070 Predator. Each Lund Predator model page goes deeper on hull construction, steering, outboard power, fuel, deck organization, systems, pricing context and financing.
A Lund Predator financing application should follow the boat decision. Once the buyer knows which Predator model fits rivers, reservoirs, backwaters, and hunting water, the normal crew, the tow vehicle and the storage plan, Float Finance can help evaluate eligible dealer, brokerage or private-party purchases and show how the specific transaction may work as a monthly payment.
Start a Lund Predator comparison with the normal day, not the best day of the season.
The final Lund Predator choice should be the smallest or simplest model that comfortably handles the owner’s recurring demands. Within the Lund Predator range, buying unused size can add fuel, engine, trailer and storage cost without improving the days that make up most of the season.
The Predator family’s aluminum construction, outboard packages, trailers, batteries, fishing equipment and storage requirements create recurring fuel, service, winterization, insurance, trailer and accessory costs that should be visible before financing is finalized.
The Predator model list spans 1660 Predator 16′ / 50 HP; 1760 Predator 17′ / 75 HP; 1870 Predator 18′ / 75 HP tiller / 90 HP side console / 105 HP center console; 2070 Predator 20′ / 150 HP. Within the Lund Predator, that spread matters because a larger engine, fuel system and trailer can change annual cost; a buyer using short inland runs should not budget from the habits of an owner who regularly crosses large open water.
For a used Lund Predator, maintenance documentation and rigging quality deserve more weight than cosmetic shine. A well-kept smaller Predator with correct trailer support and clean electrical work can be a better long-term buy than a larger model carrying deferred outboard, pump, battery or trailer work.
If the Lund Predator now fits the buyer’s water and ownership plan, use the application to evaluate financing for the exact boat. If the choice is still between 1660 Predator, 1760 Predator, 1870 Predator, 2070 Predator or a neighboring Lund family, contact Float Finance before turning one monthly estimate into the reason to buy the wrong hull.
Alt: Lund Predator buying guide for rivers, reservoirs, backwaters, and hunting water
A practical guide to matching Predator hull size, steering, crew, gear and tow vehicle to the water that will actually be used.

A guide to keeping fuel, service, storage, insurance and trailer expense beside the boat payment.
The Lund Predator is designed for purpose-built hunting, bowfishing, catfishing, and river utility with camo-friendly open layouts and Mod-V running surfaces. Its normal buyer is anglers and hunters who need gear space, shallow-water practicality, and steering choices instead of a deep-V family cockpit, and the family makes the most sense on rivers, reservoirs, backwaters, and hunting water. The main compromise is specific: Predator versatility is centered on rivers and shallow utility; buyers who spend most of their time crossing rough open water should choose a deeper hull family.
This Lund Predator guide covers 1660 Predator, 1760 Predator, 1870 Predator, 2070 Predator. Their published size and power steps are 1660 Predator 16′ / 50 HP; 1760 Predator 17′ / 75 HP; 1870 Predator 18′ / 75 HP tiller / 90 HP side console / 105 HP center console; 2070 Predator 20′ / 150 HP, so moving from one Predator model to another can change trailer, engine, fuel and storage requirements as well as usable deck space.
Choose a Lund Predator by normal water, crew, steering preference, rods or cargo, towing, and storage before comparing monthly payment. The best Predator is the model whose extra capability gets used often enough to justify the extra engine, fuel, trailer and storage burden.
A used Lund Predator needs a hull and transom inspection appropriate to aluminum construction, plus a cold engine start, steering check, electrical and pump testing when fitted, battery review, and trailer inspection. On a used Lund Predator, the condition of owner-added electronics and accessory penetrations can reveal how carefully that boat was rigged.
Eligible Lund Predator purchases can include private-party transactions as well as dealer and brokerage purchases. A private Lund Predator sale still requires ownership, lien and identification documents, acceptable boat value and condition, and a borrower and transaction that meet lender requirements.
Compare another Lund when the Predator compromise appears on most normal trips: Predator versatility is centered on rivers and shallow utility; buyers who spend most of their time crossing rough open water should choose a deeper hull family. The most useful alternatives are Renegade, Alaskan, Mod Jon Boat because they solve a different use case rather than simply adding size.
If the Lund Predator family matches this buyer profile, anglers and hunters who need gear space, shallow-water practicality, and steering choices instead of a deep-V family cockpit, and the buyer has narrowed the choice to the right model, start the Float Finance boat-loan application for that exact purchase.
