The 1660 Predator is aimed at duck hunting, backwater fishing, muddy rivers, and buyers who want a purpose-built camo utility hull with a true fishing layout. The 1660 is the simplest Predator and the only one in this group that stays strictly tiller, keeping the cockpit open and the operator aft rather than spending floor area on a console.
The Lund 1660 Predator makes sense only when its layout is matched to the way the owner actually boats. The Lund 1660 Predator measures 16′, carries a 85″ beam, is rated to 50 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.
Within the Predator family, the 1660 Predator is the compact choice and the 1760 Predator is the natural size-up comparison. The 1660 Predator keeps the package at 16′ and 85″, while the 1760 Predator moves to 17′ and 85″; buy the larger hull only if its extra room, power, or water capability solves a recurring problem rather than an occasional one.
Because the 1660 Predator is tiller-steered, the operator works from the stern and the middle of the boat stays comparatively open; that favors precise low-speed fishing and cargo room but concentrates driver, battery, and engine weight aft.
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; the 1760 Predator is aimed at this one: Hunters and river anglers who want the 1660 concept with an extra foot, a fifth passenger position, and optional steering wheel control. The deck decision should follow those two jobs before it follows horsepower or price.
For a Lund 1660 Predator, financing should come after this fit test.
Published factory figures. Confirm every dimension against the individual boat before you commit.
The 1660 Predator starts with a 16′ hull and 85″ beam, but the useful hull question is what those dimensions let this Predator do. In this case, the 1660 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 1660 Predator, the published construction description is .100 in bottom; .100 in freeboard; Mod-V.
The 1660 Predator is more likely to show its history on the bottom than in the upholstery. On the 1660 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 1660 Predator, the nearest physical comparison is the 1760 Predator, which measures 17′ on a 85″ beam and is rated to 75 HP. The 1660 Predator is 16′ on 85″ with 50 HP. The differences around the 1660 Predator should show up in usable room, trailer fit, and the conditions the boat can handle comfortably.
For the 1660 Predator, Lund lists 735 lb as the published boat-weight reference for this configuration. For the 1660 Predator, that is not the tow-ready number.
Lund rates the 1660 Predator to 50 HP. For the 1660 Predator, the published power ceiling belongs beside the tiller layout and this intended use: Duck hunting, backwater fishing, muddy rivers, and buyers who want a purpose-built camo utility hull with a true fishing layout.
The tiller position keeps the middle of the 1660 Predator open and puts the driver at the stern. On the 1660 Predator, that supports a purpose-built hunting and river workspace where camouflage, gear movement, rod handling, and optional steering layouts matter.
Power is one difference between the 1660 Predator and 1760 Predator. Lund publishes 50 HP for the 1660 Predator and 75 HP for the 1760 Predator. Sea-trial the 1660 Predator and 1760 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 1660 Predator, horsepower alone should not decide between them.
For the exact outboard on a used 1660 Predator, begin with a cold start and service history. On the 1660 Predator, inspect the gearcase, skeg, propeller, mounting hardware, steering, charging output, fuel lines and rigging. Then run the 1660 Predator with the fuel setup on the exact boat, normal batteries and expected gear aboard, confirming that the engine reaches its manufacturer-specified operating range without unusual vibration, ventilation or steering load.
The 1660 Predator should be planned around the fuel system actually installed on the boat, not around a guessed integrated-tank number. For the 1660 Predator, the ownership case for this boat is built around shallow-water hull wear, trailer durability, outboard protection, and choosing only as much console, fuel, and equipment as the river or hunting job requires.
For the 1660 Predator, the published speed reference is 30 to 32 mph. On the 1660 Predator, treat that as a setup reference rather than a cruise target.
Fuel setup is still worth comparing between the 1660 Predator and 1760 Predator. The 1660 Predator uses configuration-specific fuel storage; the 1760 Predator uses 20-gallon fuel capacity. On the 1660 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 1660 Predator, keep fuel outside the loan payment when testing affordability.
Performance on the 1660 Predator is about shallow-water control and usable bow entry. On the 1660 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 1660 Predator, the 1760 Predator is the useful control in the comparison. The 1760 Predator measures 17′ with a 85″ beam and 75 HP maximum power; the 1660 Predator is 16′ with 85″ and 50 HP.
If the exact 1660 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 1660 Predator will not share.
The deck is where the 1660 Predator either proves or disproves its fit. The 1660 Predator is aimed at this buyer and use case: Duck hunting, backwater fishing, muddy rivers, and buyers who want a purpose-built camo utility hull with a true fishing layout.
On this 1660 Predator, rod storage is published as 7-foot-6-inch rod storage; fish-holding equipment is listed as 18-gallon front livewell; the capacity rating is 4 people. Those are not abstract specifications. On the 1660 Predator, load the longest rods the owner will carry, 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.
The tiller keeps helm hardware out of the middle of the 1660 Predator and preserves the open working area that defines this layout. On the 1660 Predator, check whether stern seating, fuel and any battery still leave the driver enough room to turn and control the outboard, then confirm that the center section remains useful with the normal tackle, decoys, coolers, camp cargo, anchors or utility gear aboard.
Walk the 1660 Predator and 1760 Predator back to back if possible. For the 1660 Predator, 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.

For the 1660 Predator, the published rod-storage reference is 7-foot-6-inch rod storage. On the 1660 Predator, load that compartment with the longest rods the owner actually uses and check tubes, hinges, latches and lid clearance. That matters on the 1660 Predator because its deck is organized around a purpose-built hunting and river workspace where camouflage, gear movement, rod handling, and optional steering layouts matter.
On the 1660 Predator, finish with the trailer and outboard rigging. On the 1660 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 1660 Predator is normally a day boat, so dock and storage fit should be settled before closing. For the 1660 Predator, the hull is 16′ long and 85″ wide, but the complete package adds trailer tongue, outboard position, windshield or console height, trolling motor, guide posts and accessories.

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 1660 Predator, those views help confirm the core design point: the 1660 is the simplest Predator and the only one in this group that stays strictly tiller, keeping the cockpit open and the operator aft rather than spending floor area on a console.
On the 1660 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 1660 Predator, configuration should explain the price difference. For the 1660 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.
On the 1660 Predator, keep the 1760 Predator visible while reading the market. The 1660 Predator offers 16′, 85″ and 50 HP; the 1760 Predator offers 17′, 85″ and 75 HP.

In that case, the alternative deserves more attention than the 1660 Predator before price or monthly payment becomes decisive.
A new Lund 1660 Predator should be delivered as the exact package that was priced. On the 1660 Predator, confirm the outboard and propeller, tiller equipment, batteries, electronics, trolling motor, trailer, fishing hardware and any family-use options before accepting the boat. For the 1660 Predator, the goal is not to maximize equipment.
For a used 1660 Predator, connect hull condition to the way this family is normally used. On the 1660 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 1660 Predator, a private-party purchase adds paperwork that should be resolved before funds move. On the 1660 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 1660 Predator and verifying what equipment is included.
If the search keeps producing both a 1660 Predator and 1760 Predator, use the difference as a buying filter rather than shopping two nearly random boats.
