In the vast and comprehensive realm of fishing boats, a standout addition that caught my attention recently is the 2022 Lund Boat Utility/Hunting Series Predator 1870 Tiller. As a lover of all things marine and a firm believer in the offerings of Lund Boats, this robust aluminum fish vessel paints a compelling picture of high-quality craftsmanship and practical value.
Donning an olivine drab green acrylic exterior, the Predator 1870 Tiller defies the normalized expectations of a fishing boat's aesthetics. Kitted with 6" Black Nylon Cleats, Navigational Lighting, SportTrak, ProTrak Gunnel, Transducer Bracket, Transom Drain Plug, Trim Tabs and a Standard Black Bunk Trailer with Load Guides, this boat is designed for safety, navigability and resilience in the face of diverse aquatic conditions.
One of the first things to note is the specifications. With an 18-foot length, 96-inch beam width, and a maximum HP capacity of 75, the vessel guarantees stability and speed. According to the standard equipment details, it caters to a maximum of 6 persons and carries a hefty weight capacity of 846 lbs. The front Livewell boasts a capacity of 23 gallon, translating into enhanced efficiency for fishing trips.
Personally, I find the interior features to be the highlight of the Predator 1870 Tiller. Designed for user convenience and comfort, there are battery trays, a manual aerated bow Livewell, bow trolling motor plug, and a non-skid floor liner to ensure safety during all fishing ventures. The side rod holder and rod tube combo offer easy storage for your fishing equipment, a subtle yet significant design feature that fishing enthusiasts will appreciate.
An integral component that sets the Predator 1870 Tiller apart from the crowd is the tiller drivers seat, themed in Mossy Oak Shadowgrass. This is a brilliant blend of style and functionality. With its inclusion, steering this boat while fishing becomes as easy and comfortable as you can imagine.
From the details provided, it's clear that Lund Boats have struck a balance between practicality and style with the 2022 Predator 1870 Tiller. Available at an MSRP of $17,464 with an invoice price of $15,368, this boat poses a tempting proposition for any freshwater fishing or hunting enthusiast looking for a durable, dependable new boat. I am looking forward to seeing more user reviews and performance details as more people get the chance to experience this model for themselves.
The 2022 Lund Boat Utility/Hunting Series Predator 1870 Tiller is not just a boat; it's a declaration of the company's dedication to marine excellence and their understanding of an angler's distinctive needs.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
