When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Lund 1660 Classic Tiller 2007 and the Lund A 14 2006 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 Tiller 2007 at 16,0 ft versus Lund A 14 2006 at 14,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1660 Classic Tiller 2007 tips the scales at 785 lbs — 767 lbs more than the Lund A 14 2006 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 60 hp, the Lund 1660 Classic Tiller 2007 has a 45-hp advantage over the Lund A 14 2006's 15-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.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Lund A 14 2006 comes in at 1 lbs per hp versus 13 lbs per hp for the Lund 1660 Classic Tiller 2007. 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.
