The 2026 Lund 1800 Explorer Sport is an 18-foot aluminum runabout built for shallow-water fishing and extended time on the water. Its Deep Vee hull design provides stability across varying conditions while drawing minimal draft—it floats in less than a foot of water. Power comes from a Mercury 115 Pro XS outboard engine paired with a stainless steel four-blade propeller, capable of reaching 44 knots.
The boat features three seats and a practical layout centered on fishing. Equipment includes a Humminbird Explorer 9 MSI chartplotter at the helm, Minn Kota Ulterra trolling motor with 60-pound thrust, center rod locker, port-side rod tube option, and boarding ladder. An auto bilge pump handles water management, while a three-bank onboard charger keeps batteries topped up. A Kicker stereo system, phone charger, and fire extinguisher round out the standard package.
Additional amenities include a Lund Sport Top for weather protection, Lund travel cover, two fender hangers, two splash pan inserts, and two seats. The boat's shallow draft and integrated equipment package make it well-suited for walleye and panfish work in rivers, reservoirs, and lakes where many larger boats cannot safely venture.
