Matching a modified vee Lund 1400 Fury SS 2012 against a deep vee Lund 1400 Fury Tiller 2013 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 — Lund 1400 Fury SS 2012 at 14,8 ft versus Lund 1400 Fury Tiller 2013 at 14,8 ft. At 565 lbs and 545 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 30 hp for the Lund 1400 Fury SS 2012 and 40 hp for the Lund 1400 Fury Tiller 2013. 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.

Both boats are rated for 4 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.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Lund 1400 Fury Tiller 2013 comes in at 14 lbs per hp versus 19 lbs per hp for the Lund 1400 Fury SS 2012. 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.
