Matching a flat Lund 1032 Jon 2013 against a modified vee Lund 1800 Sport Angler 2009 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Lund 1800 Sport Angler 2009 measures 18,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 17,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund 1032 Jon 2013 at 1,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1800 Sport Angler 2009 tips the scales at 146 lbs — 138 lbs less than the Lund 1032 Jon 2013 at 8 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 175 hp, the Lund 1800 Sport Angler 2009 has a 172-hp advantage over the Lund 1032 Jon 2013's 3-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 1800 Sport Angler 2009 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Lund 1032 Jon 2013 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1800 Sport Angler 2009 could be the deciding factor.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Lund 1800 Sport Angler 2009 comes in at 1 lbs per hp versus 3 lbs per hp for the Lund 1032 Jon 2013. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
