Matching a deep vee Lund 1675 Impact Sport 2013 against a modified vee Lund A 12 2012 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 1675 Impact Sport 2013 measures 16,8 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 4,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund A 12 2012 at 12,1 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1675 Impact Sport 2013 tips the scales at 1 125 lbs — 961 lbs more than the Lund A 12 2012 at 164 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 90 hp, the Lund 1675 Impact Sport 2013 has a 80-hp advantage over the Lund A 12 2012's 10-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 1675 Impact Sport 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Lund A 12 2012 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1675 Impact Sport 2013 could be the deciding factor.
At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Lund 1675 Impact Sport 2013 comes in at 13 lbs per hp versus 16 lbs per hp for the Lund A 12 2012. 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.
Bottom line: Choose the Lund 1675 Impact Sport 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 16,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lund A 12 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.
