The Lund 1675 Explorer SS 2010 vs Lund 1875 Impact XS SS/Sport 2022 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Lund 1675 Explorer SS 2010 at 16,7 ft versus Lund 1875 Impact XS SS/Sport 2022 at 18,1 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1875 Impact XS SS/Sport 2022 tips the scales at 1 800 lbs — 1 686 lbs less than the Lund 1675 Explorer SS 2010 at 114 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 115 hp, the Lund 1875 Impact XS SS/Sport 2022 has a 25-hp advantage over the Lund 1675 Explorer SS 2010'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 1875 Impact XS SS/Sport 2022 carries 36 gallons versus 19 gallons in the Lund 1675 Explorer SS 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.
