- It's been a year since I bought my Lund SSV-18, so in this video I review the boat's performance, as well as all the accessories I purchased and installed myself, after using them for a full fishing season.

I guided out of one of these all summer in northern Ontario. Fantastic boat. We had ours paired with a 60hp yamaha. When the weather turned bad and the waves started bucking this thing was amazing!!!
I agree with everything you said about the ssv18. I've got an older ssv18 and it's been a great camping and fishing boat for me.
Every time I take it out, I love it more!
Thanks Dan, I've been looking at both the lund ssv18 and Angler 1650
Whichever you choose, I think you're going to love it! Thanks for watching!
Get the heated grip for tiller 140$ and upgraded that bow mount to I pilot for 300$ plus remote.
Thanks for the honest review
Hi Dan. Great videos on the SV-18. I have been fishing out of Lunds in Canadian fishing camps for the past 50 some odd years. I am finally looking into getting my own boat and think the SV-18 is perfect for me fishing all over MI in rivers, small lakes to occasionally hitting the big water in Lake MI or Huron. I will probably pair it with a 40hp command thrust Merc. I will likely spend most of my time in rivers that are full of obstructions at times. I am wondering whether it is best to add a jack plate or use a prop guard? Or is the command thrust heavy duty gear case enough? Wondering what you would do.
Thanks! I recommend getting the 60hp command thrust. I'm a big believer in always getting the max rated outboard. I do not have a jack plate or prop guard and have run in 1.25 feet of water on the wisconsin river with mine. The boat can go scary shallow and handle a lot bigger water than people might think. 2.5 seasons with the boat and I'm a firm believer it is the best boat for the money hands down, especially if you're doing the shore camping or the Canadian outpost thing. My most recent fishing video is a prime example of how it's literally a go anywhere do anything kind of rig and meant to do big boy stuff. You will NOT be disappointed!
@@dansmidwestangling Thank you! I will move up to the 60hp.
What did the boat cost???????
Very good information, thank you.
Great video . Thank you so much.
Thank you for watching!
Great boat review! Ladder is a must have. Do you remember what brand ladder it is? I'm gonna put one on mine.
Thank you, Mike! The brand is Garelick, but I'm not sure which model specifically I have. This one has the same heavy-duty mounting brackets, but I thought I remember mine having another section:

Hope this helps!
Great review boss!
Thank you!
Do you know the length of the boat motor and trailer? With a folding tongue, would it fit in a 22 foot garage?
I'm about 25 feet with the motor secured on the transom saver and a solid trailer tongue.
Should be ok an 35 Hp tiller for three pax?
I think a 35 would be fairly underpowered for this boat. The lowest I'd go personally would be a 50, but I'm a big believer in getting the biggest motor a boat is rated for.
This boat take the 60 easily, run around 32 mph on calm days

Your license plate may say Wisconsin but you sure sound like you are from Maine or somewhere out there.
This is exactly correct
