Matching a flat Lund 1648 2008 against a deep vee Lund 1810 Predator SS 2013 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Lund 1810 Predator SS 2013 measures 18,1 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 3,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund 1648 2008 at 15,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1810 Predator SS 2013 tips the scales at 965 lbs — 923 lbs less than the Lund 1648 2008 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 125 hp, the Lund 1810 Predator SS 2013 has a 90-hp advantage over the Lund 1648 2008's 35-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
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.
Bottom line: The Lund 1810 Predator SS 2013 at 18,1 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Lund 1648 2008 at 15,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
