Matching a modified vee Lund 1600 Explorer SS 2007 against a deep vee Lund 2150 Baron 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 2150 Baron 2013 measures 21,8 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 5,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund 1600 Explorer SS 2007 at 16,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1600 Explorer SS 2007 tips the scales at 1 035 lbs — 1 014 lbs more than the Lund 2150 Baron 2013 at 21 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 300 hp, the Lund 2150 Baron 2013 has a 210-hp advantage over the Lund 1600 Explorer SS 2007's 90-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 2150 Baron 2013 carries 78 gallons versus 19 gallons in the Lund 1600 Explorer SS 2007. 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 Explorer SS 2007 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Lund 2150 Baron 2013 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1600 Explorer SS 2007 could be the deciding factor.
