The Lund 1232 2009 is a flat-bottom design and the Lund Classic 1660 Tiller 2006 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 Classic 1660 Tiller 2006 measures 16,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 5,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund 1232 2009 at 11,0 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund Classic 1660 Tiller 2006 tips the scales at 785 lbs - 695 lbs less than the Lund 1232 2009 at 90 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 60 hp, the Lund Classic 1660 Tiller 2006 has a 57-hp advantage over the Lund 1232 2009'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 Classic 1660 Tiller 2006 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Lund 1232 2009 caps at 2. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund Classic 1660 Tiller 2006 could be the deciding factor.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Lund Classic 1660 Tiller 2006 comes in at 13 lbs per hp versus 30 lbs per hp for the Lund 1232 2009. 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.
