The Lund 1600 Fury Tiller 2011 vs Lund U1652 2005 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Lund 1600 Fury Tiller 2011 at 16,2 ft versus Lund U1652 2005 at 16,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1600 Fury Tiller 2011 tips the scales at 565 lbs — 523 lbs more than the Lund U1652 2005 at 42 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 — 40 hp for the Lund 1600 Fury Tiller 2011 and 35 hp for the Lund U1652 2005. 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 U1652 2005 comes in at 1 lbs per hp versus 14 lbs per hp for the Lund 1600 Fury Tiller 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.
