Lund Boats

Meet the boat that reimagines the possibilities for onboard space. Measuring only 16’5”, the Lund 1650 Angler is versatile, agile, comfortable, and best of all, is ready to take on both small and big waters.

Available in 3 configurations—the Sport model with a full walk-through windshield, the Single Side console (SS), and the classic rear steering (tiller) model with extra floor space—you’re sure to find a model that complies with your specifications for the greatest in comfort and functionality. It’s the perfect size to fit in your garage–a nice winter lounge.

We really like the IPS design of Lund boats and the experience of quick-starting. The reverse chines are noticeable, like the way using an iPhone was for the first time. It planes quickly and cuts down on splash in chop. There’s less teeter too, which is nice when casting from fore and aft decks.

Standard features include a two-tier port and starboard rod storage, a 16-gallon bow aerated livewell with bait net, and loads of storage space throughout the boat.

Plus, a spacious bow casting platform with a convenient cubby-hole for storing a foot pedal and cables when not in use as well as an equally expansive aft deck that extends to the transom for a larger casting platform.

Unique to the Tiller model is a stand-alone rear command console featuring a roomy top for mounting electronics, tackle tray storage, gauge cluster, and a built-in easy-to-reach tool holder.

Both the SS and Tiller models are rated for a 50 horsepower motor while the Sport model is rated for 60 horsepower.
