When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Lund 1650 Renegade Sport 2011 and the Lund 186 Fisherman GL 2009 are modified vee designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Lund 1650 Renegade Sport 2011 at 16,5 ft versus Lund 186 Fisherman GL 2009 at 18,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1650 Renegade Sport 2011 tips the scales at 855 lbs — 837 lbs more than the Lund 186 Fisherman GL 2009 at 18 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 Lund 1650 Renegade Sport 2011 carries a rated maximum of 60 hp. Engine data for the Lund 186 Fisherman GL 2009 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.

Both boats are rated for 5 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.
