Lund Fisherman 1800 info/advice
Bill W:
I have the 1800 Fisherman and it works well in the Sound. I've also had it in the straits and also out in the ocean. I wasn't a big fan of having it out in the ocean as it's an open bow. You will need a dependable big motor on it. I had a 115 hp Yamaha with an 8 hp Yamaha kicker and a pair of electric downriggers. Even though your boat sat out in the open for 10 years it may be all the boat needs is a good cleaning and servicing the motors.

Hope for the best prepared for the worst.

They are around 4k lbs dry weight, so they have some weight to them. When anchored, and tide goes out, you will not be able to drag it to water, trust me we tried, LOL.
Can catch side wind a bit, but I would not hesitate to take one out of Sekiu or Point No Point.
Just be smart and always keep an eye on the weather.

I'd have thought it'd be closer to half that weight?

I think you are correct!
I can’t find the spec sheet I was reading earlier, but the 1800 Fisherman is basically the same maybe a little lighter than the 1800 Tyee which is 1400 lbs not 4000 lbs.
I must have read it wrong.

That’s dry weight. It doesn’t factor in motor, fuel, fluids, electronics, gear, etc. for example, my current boat has a “dry weight” of 3900 lbs. I have a receipt from it scaling at over 7600 lbs. granted, that included the trailer so subtract 1300-1500 lbs from that.
