The Lund 1625 Classic SS 2008 is a modified-V design and the Lund 1800 Alaskan Tiller 2013 is a deep-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 1625 Classic SS 2008 at 16,0 ft versus Lund 1800 Alaskan Tiller 2013 at 18,8 ft.
