Matching a deep vee Lund 1625 Fury XL Sport 2013 against a modified vee Lund SSV 16 Tiller 2007 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Lund 1625 Fury XL Sport 2013 at 16,3 ft versus Lund SSV 16 Tiller 2007 at 16,0 ft.
