When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Lund 1660 Classic Sport 2007 and the Lund 197 Pro-V 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 1660 Classic Sport 2007 at 16,0 ft versus Lund 197 Pro-V GL 2009 at 19,0 ft. At 9 lbs and 21 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Lund 1660 Classic Sport 2007 carries a rated maximum of 75 hp. Engine data for the Lund 197 Pro-V GL 2009 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Lund 1660 Classic Sport 2007 carries 19 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Lund 197 Pro-V GL 2009. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 197 Pro-V GL 2009 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Lund 1660 Classic Sport 2007 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 197 Pro-V GL 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Lund 197 Pro-V GL 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 5 passengers and at 19,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lund 1660 Classic Sport 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
