Matching a deep vee Lund 1400 Fury Tiller 2013 against a modified vee Lund 1725 Explorer Sport 2012 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 Tiller 2013 at 14,8 ft versus Lund 1725 Explorer Sport 2012 at 17,3 ft.

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 125 hp, the Lund 1725 Explorer Sport 2012 has a 85-hp advantage over the Lund 1400 Fury Tiller 2013's 40-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

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.
