Matching a tunnel Caddo BayStealth 1880 OB Tunnel Hull 2010 against a modified vee Caddo Runabout 182 BR OB 2010 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Caddo BayStealth 1880 OB Tunnel Hull 2010 at 18,3 ft versus Caddo Runabout 182 BR OB 2010 at 18,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Caddo Runabout 182 BR OB 2010 tips the scales at 165 lbs — 131 lbs less than the Caddo BayStealth 1880 OB Tunnel Hull 2010 at 34 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 150 hp for the Caddo BayStealth 1880 OB Tunnel Hull 2010 and 140 hp for the Caddo Runabout 182 BR OB 2010. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Caddo BayStealth 1880 OB Tunnel Hull 2010 carries 46 gallons versus 25 gallons in the Caddo Runabout 182 BR OB 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 6 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
