Matching a modified vee Lund 1600 Alaskan SS 2006 against a deep vee Lund 1750 Outfitter 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 1600 Alaskan SS 2006 at 16,0 ft versus Lund 1750 Outfitter Tiller 2013 at 17,6 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1600 Alaskan SS 2006 tips the scales at 915 lbs — 110 lbs more than the Lund 1750 Outfitter Tiller 2013 at 805 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 — 75 hp for the Lund 1600 Alaskan SS 2006 and 60 hp for the Lund 1750 Outfitter 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 carry nearly identical fuel loads — 19 gal and 19 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 1600 Alaskan SS 2006 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Lund 1750 Outfitter Tiller 2013 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1600 Alaskan SS 2006 could be the deciding factor.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Lund 1600 Alaskan SS 2006 comes in at 12 lbs per hp versus 13 lbs per hp for the Lund 1750 Outfitter Tiller 2013. 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.
