When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Lund 1650 Renegade Tiller 2010 and the Lund 1700 Pro Sport 2008 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?
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 115 hp, the Lund 1700 Pro Sport 2008 has a 65-hp advantage over the Lund 1650 Renegade Tiller 2010's 50-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Lund 1700 Pro Sport 2008 carries 24 gallons versus 19 gallons in the Lund 1650 Renegade Tiller 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
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.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Lund 1700 Pro Sport 2008 and its 115-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Lund 1650 Renegade Tiller 2010 with its 50-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
