Matching a flat Lund 1436L Jon 2013 against a modified vee Lund 186 Pro Sport GL 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.

At 145 lbs and 175 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.
The Lund 1436L Jon 2013 carries a rated maximum of 15 hp. Engine data for the Lund 186 Pro Sport GL 2009 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 186 Pro Sport GL 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Lund 186 Pro Sport GL 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 5 passengers and at 18,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably.
