The Lund 1625 Classic Tiller 2008 is a modified-V design and the Lund 1648M Jon 2013 is a flat-bottom 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 Tiller 2008 at 16,0 ft versus Lund 1648M Jon 2013 at 15,8 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1625 Classic Tiller 2008 tips the scales at 630 lbs - 210 lbs more than the Lund 1648M Jon 2013 at 420 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 1625 Classic Tiller 2008 and 35 hp for the Lund 1648M Jon 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 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 1648M Jon 2013 comes in at 12 lbs per hp versus 16 lbs per hp for the Lund 1625 Classic Tiller 2008. 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.
