Matching a modified vee Lund 1675 Explorer SS 2009 against a deep vee Lund 2150 Baron 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 2150 Baron 2013 measures 21,8 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 5,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund 1675 Explorer SS 2009 at 16,0 feet (2009). At 114 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the Lund 2150 Baron 2013 has a 210-hp advantage over the Lund 1675 Explorer SS 2009's 90-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 2150 Baron 2013 carries 78 gallons versus 19 gallons in the Lund 1675 Explorer SS 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 1675 Explorer SS 2009 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Lund 2150 Baron 2013 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1675 Explorer SS 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Lund 1675 Explorer SS 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 5 passengers and at 16,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lund 2150 Baron 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
