Matching a modified vee Lund 1600 Alaskan SS 2010 against a deep vee Lund 2010 Predator 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Lund 2010 Predator 2013 measures 20,2 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 3,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund 1600 Alaskan SS 2010 at 16,8 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1600 Alaskan SS 2010 tips the scales at 915 lbs — 899 lbs more than the Lund 2010 Predator 2013 at 16 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 225 hp, the Lund 2010 Predator 2013 has a 150-hp advantage over the Lund 1600 Alaskan SS 2010's 75-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Lund 1600 Alaskan SS 2010 carries 19 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Lund 2010 Predator 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 1600 Alaskan SS 2010 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Lund 2010 Predator 2013 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1600 Alaskan SS 2010 could be the deciding factor.
