The Lund 1648 Jon 2013 vs Lund 1775 Renegade SS 2022 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 1648 Jon 2013 at 15,8 ft versus Lund 1775 Renegade SS 2022 at 17,9 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1775 Renegade SS 2022 tips the scales at 1 225 lbs — 860 lbs less than the Lund 1648 Jon 2013 at 365 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 — 35 hp for the Lund 1648 Jon 2013 and 50 hp for the Lund 1775 Renegade SS 2022. 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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 1775 Renegade SS 2022 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Lund 1648 Jon 2013 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1775 Renegade SS 2022 could be the deciding factor.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Lund 1648 Jon 2013 comes in at 10 lbs per hp versus 25 lbs per hp for the Lund 1775 Renegade SS 2022. 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.

The Lund 1775 Renegade SS 2022 is trailerable — a genuine lifestyle advantage at this size. The Lund 1648 Jon 2013 isn't listed as trailerable, which may mean a permanent berth or mooring is required.
