The Lund 189 Pro-V GL measures 18′ 9″, carries a 102″ beam, is rated to 200 HP, and applies the Pro-V GL design brief to fiberglass tournament deep-V performance with Lund fishing storage, livewells, and IPS3 hull design. Tournament and multi-species anglers who want the Pro-V GL fiberglass platform in its shortest 18-foot-9-inch form.
The Lund 189 Pro-V GL sits in the range for a specific use case rather than as a generic step between two prices. The Lund 189 Pro-V GL measures 18′ 9″, carries a 102″ beam, is rated to 200 HP, and applies the Pro-V GL design brief to fiberglass tournament deep-V performance with Lund fishing storage, livewells, and IPS3 hull design.
Within the Pro-V GL family, the 189 Pro-V GL is the compact choice and the 202 Pro-V GL is the natural size-up comparison. The 189 Pro-V GL keeps the package at 18′ 9″ and 102″, while the 202 Pro-V GL moves to 20′ 2″ and 102″; buy the larger hull only if its extra room, power, or water capability solves a recurring problem rather than an occasional one.
The 189 Pro-V GL is built around full-windshield Sport, so windshield protection and seated driving comfort are part of its reason for existing; that same structure takes floor area that an open tiller or center-console Lund would leave available for movement and gear.
The 189 Pro-V GL is aimed at this use case: Tournament and multi-species anglers who want the Pro-V GL fiberglass platform in its shortest 18-foot-9-inch form; the 202 Pro-V GL is aimed at this one: Serious tournament anglers who want 20-foot fiberglass mass, 300-hp capability, and 9-foot-6-inch rod storage. The deck decision should follow those two jobs before it follows horsepower or price.
For a Lund 189 Pro-V GL, financing should come after this fit test.
Published factory figures. Confirm every dimension against the individual boat before you commit.
The 189 Pro-V GL starts with a 18′ 9″ hull and 102″ beam, but the useful hull question is what those dimensions let this Pro-V GL do. In this case, the 189 Pro-V GL is built for big-water tournament fishing where fiberglass mass, IPS3 running surfaces, high horsepower, and long-range equipment are part of the mission. For the 189 Pro-V GL, the published construction description is IPS3 fiberglass.
Fiberglass changes the inspection on a 189 Pro-V GL. On the 189 Pro-V GL, follow the keel and strakes for impact repairs, examine the transom and hull-to-deck joint, inspect every through-hull and owner-drilled mounting point, and look closely at areas where gelcoat color or texture changes. A polished 189 Pro-V GL can still hide an old repair, so the survey should connect cosmetic evidence with the structure underneath it.
For the 189 Pro-V GL, the nearest physical comparison is the 202 Pro-V GL, which measures 20′ 2″ on a 102″ beam and is rated to 300 HP. The 189 Pro-V GL is 18′ 9″ on 102″ with 200 HP. The differences around the 189 Pro-V GL should show up in usable room, trailer fit, and the conditions the boat can handle comfortably.
For the 189 Pro-V GL, Lund lists 2,550 lb as the published boat-weight reference for this configuration. For the 189 Pro-V GL, that is not the tow-ready number.
Lund rates the 189 Pro-V GL to 200 HP. For the 189 Pro-V GL, the published power ceiling belongs beside the full-windshield Sport layout and this intended use: Tournament and multi-species anglers who want the Pro-V GL fiberglass platform in its shortest 18-foot-9-inch form.
A full windshield is part of the 189 Pro-V GL’s operating case, especially in big-water tournament fishing where fiberglass mass, IPS3 running surfaces, high horsepower, and long-range equipment are part of the mission. On the 189 Pro-V GL, inspect the frame, walk-through, latches and wiper equipment when fitted, then sit at the helm with the electronics powered.
Power is one difference between the 189 Pro-V GL and 202 Pro-V GL. Lund publishes 200 HP for the 189 Pro-V GL and 300 HP for the 202 Pro-V GL. Sea-trial the 189 Pro-V GL and 202 Pro-V GL with realistic load, then compare time to plane, midrange response, steering effort and control at the speeds the owner will actually use.
For the exact outboard on a used 189 Pro-V GL, begin with a cold start and service history. On the 189 Pro-V GL, inspect the gearcase, skeg, propeller, mounting hardware, steering, charging output, fuel lines and rigging. Then run the 189 Pro-V GL with 41 gallons of fuel, normal batteries and expected gear aboard, confirming that the engine reaches its manufacturer-specified operating range without unusual vibration, ventilation or steering load.
The 189 Pro-V GL carries 41-gallon fuel capacity. For the 189 Pro-V GL, that tells you how much fuel can be stored, not how far the boat will travel.
For the 189 Pro-V GL, the published speed reference is 46 to 54 mph. On the 189 Pro-V GL, treat that as a setup reference rather than a cruise target.
Fuel capacity also separates the 189 Pro-V GL from the 202 Pro-V GL. The 189 Pro-V GL carries 41-gallon fuel capacity; the 202 Pro-V GL carries 50-gallon fuel capacity. For the 189 Pro-V GL, the 202 Pro-V GL has the larger reserve, which can matter for long runs. If the 189 Pro-V GL already covers the normal route comfortably, its smaller fuel load may be the more practical match.
On the 189 Pro-V GL, keep fuel outside the loan payment when testing affordability.
The 189 Pro-V GL should earn its size in big-water behavior, not in a top-speed claim. For the 189 Pro-V GL, the published speed reference is 46 to 54 mph. On the 189 Pro-V GL, run it into, across and with representative chop when conditions allow.
For the 189 Pro-V GL, the 202 Pro-V GL is the useful control in the comparison. The 202 Pro-V GL measures 20′ 2″ with a 102″ beam and 300 HP maximum power; the 189 Pro-V GL is 18′ 9″ with 102″ and 200 HP.
If the exact 189 Pro-V GL 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 189 Pro-V GL will not share.
The deck is where the 189 Pro-V GL either proves or disproves its fit. The 189 Pro-V GL is aimed at this buyer and use case: Tournament and multi-species anglers who want the Pro-V GL fiberglass platform in its shortest 18-foot-9-inch form.
