When it comes to fishing in Missouri, few boats are better suited than the all-new 2026 Lund 1800 Explorer Outfitter Edition. Whether you’re casting on the Missouri River near Kansas City, chasing crappie on Truman Lake, or spending a weekend at Pomme de Terre, Stockton Lake, or Lake of the Ozarks, this boat is designed to handle it all.

The Explorer Outfitter Edition is Lund’s answer for anglers who want durability, simplicity, and space to fish without the frills. At 18 feet long with a 93-inch beam, it delivers a wide, stable platform while still being easy to tow and launch at any of Missouri’s lakes. Paired with a Mercury 115 ELPT four-stroke, it has plenty of power for long runs across open water while staying fuel-efficient.

What makes the Outfitter Edition stand out?

  • Back-to-Basics Design: 100% wood-free and carpet-free, the full vinyl interior is easy to clean and made for heavy use.

  • Serious Fishing Features: A 39” aft livewell (15 gallons) with divider and bait net, smart rod storage up to 7’8”, and a wide-open bow with gas-shock assisted compartments.

  • Outfitter Edition Extras: Unique decals, a bow stem protector, and auto bilge pump for added toughness.

  • Practical Rigging: Onboard Minn Kota 3-bank charger, wireless phone charging at the helm, and a factory travel cover.

This boat is perfect for guides, camps, or weekend anglers around Kansas City who want a reliable, low-maintenance fishing platform. It’s rugged enough for the river, versatile enough for big lakes like Lake of the Ozarks, and simple enough to keep you focused on the fishing—not the upkeep.
