When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Lund 1475 Rebel SS 2011 and the Lund 186 Pro Sport GL 2009 are modified vee designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Lund 186 Pro Sport GL 2009 measures 18,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 3,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund 1475 Rebel SS 2011 at 14,8 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1475 Rebel SS 2011 tips the scales at 585 lbs — 410 lbs more than the Lund 186 Pro Sport GL 2009 at 175 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 Lund 1475 Rebel SS 2011 carries a rated maximum of 30 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 186 Pro Sport GL 2009 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Lund 1475 Rebel SS 2011 caps at 4. 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. The Lund 1475 Rebel SS 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
