Matching a flat Lund 1448M Jon 2011 against a modified vee Lund 1475 Rebel Tiller 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Lund 1448M Jon 2011 at 15,8 ft versus Lund 1475 Rebel Tiller 2009 at 14,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1448M Jon 2011 tips the scales at 365 lbs — 311 lbs more than the Lund 1475 Rebel Tiller 2009 at 54 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 25 hp for the Lund 1448M Jon 2011 and 30 hp for the Lund 1475 Rebel Tiller 2009. 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 1475 Rebel Tiller 2009 comes in at 2 lbs per hp versus 15 lbs per hp for the Lund 1448M Jon 2011. 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.
