I love my AGM battery. I run a 12v system with one battery. 25hp johnson and a 55pound motorguide Xi5 on front. I was buying a new deep cycle every other year, so I decided to spend double the price for the AGM and I am on my 5th year with it working as good as new. The 25hp charges the battery and many times when I get home from a day of fishing the charger says The battery is already 100% charged. As far as a charger be sure to get a automatic charger that way it does not over charge the battery. I have burned up one when I forgot about it. The one I have has a AGM battery setting.

Thanks guys this blog was a big help in choosing my new boat. Lund Renegade 1775, Crappie setup. 90 hp Mercury, Motorguide X5i trolling motor, Garmin 9sv in the dash, Lowrance elite 7 on the front. I put the transom saver that is exactly like the one pictured in a earlier post. The top speed I have reached is 40 mph gps with a 13X17p prop 5300 rpm. The motor is in the highest hole so the motor is all the way down. I was wondering if I raise the motor one hole will this increase the top end speed and reduce the propoising some? I love it!

I have been looking for the same info but can not seem to find it. The Lund dealer is about 150 miles away. I stopped by the ranger dealer yesterday and measured the RT178 on the trailer, fold and motor trimmed and it is 22' 8". Sadly 4 inches too long for my garage! So no new Ranger for me. If any of you guys are close to a dealer or own a Lund 1775 would you please measure it? I have the new boat itch, but I do not want to drive 300 miles round trip to find out it is too long. Thanks

I fish inland lakes with pleasure boater buzzing around not large barges but half throttle 25-30 foot boats cruising around playing crappy music too loud. You know the guy. I do go to the no wake areas when it is very busy. My sea nymph can handle it okay, but it is a lighter boat and 72 inch beam compared to 95 inches beam on the lund. Just looking for your experience and impressions with this boat. I have a buddy that has a Tracker 175txw for sale but I think the Lund 1775 would be a better boat.

I want to buy the 1775 Renegade. I have one question. I like to fish main lake points so there are boats going by fairly often. How does it handle the wakes from other boats while you are on the trolling motor? I have a Sea Nymph fishing machine deep v 16.5 feet and it has done well most of the time. I am worried the stability maybe a step down in that aspect.
