Friday finally arrives. The clock shows 4:30 p.m., but you’re brain sees “Fish:30.” Elvis and your focus on work have left the building. At home, blissfully loading the boat and truck, you hit a snag. Your teenage son is set on wakeboarding, while your daughter demands solar rays. Meanwhile, your wife craves a ‘cruise around the lake.’ Everyone wants a piece of what was supposed to be the family “fishing boat.” Oh, the horror.
Leave it to Lund – builders of the most solid, comfortable, safest boats on the water – to devise a solution that turns everyone’s frowns upside-down. No doubt, the new 1875 Crossover XS is a pure Lund fishing-machine through-and-through. But to appease the masses, it’s also a wakeboard, water-ski, and buzz-the-bay multi-task rig that happens to cruise the lake in style. And when it’s finally, mercifully, time to cast or troll, this rig does it up right – with killer fishing features like spacious casting decks, an aerated livewell and bait tamer, bow 12/24-volt trolling motor plug, plus rod storage galore – even while the wakeboards and skis are stored separately, safe and snug from tip to tail.
But you’ve got to check out the sleek lines on this craft: a hot new cosmetics and sizzling graphics that even the trendiest teenagers can dig. This rugged sport utility boat maximizes your time on the water, offering dual massive in-floor storage lockers for wakeboards, skis, or fishing rods up to 8-feet long. Intuitive little design details are signature to Lund, and the Crossover XS is replete with the goods: an integrated removable ski pylon pedestal and boarding ladder, and all new roomy bow and aft platforms. The craft’s even tricked out with a complete Clarion® AM/FM sound system that’s iPod/Sirius XM ready. Lots of extra seating, too, so family and friends can cruise in comfort. Padded bow back rests up front, act like sprawled out sun-loungers, while three Pro-Ride swivel seats and two extra aft jump seats with storage trays, cup holders, and underseat storage offer ultra-relaxation.
“The new 1875 Crossover XS is designed for those who need the fishability of a Lund, while maximizing the recreational needs of the family,” says Lund Boats Product Manager Rory Wiebe. “Revolutionary from the ground up, including an interior layout that features a new center rod locker, and a ski and wakeboard storage locker plus new paint lines and graphics. Crossover XS is designed to keep everyone happy and entertained.”
