Matching a deep vee Lund 1675 Impact SS 2013 against a modified vee Lund WC 14 Tiller 2009 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Lund 1675 Impact SS 2013 at 16,8 ft versus Lund WC 14 Tiller 2009 at 14,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1675 Impact SS 2013 tips the scales at 1 125 lbs — 830 lbs more than the Lund WC 14 Tiller 2009 at 295 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 SS 2013 has a 65-hp advantage over the Lund WC 14 Tiller 2009's 25-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 SS 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Lund WC 14 Tiller 2009 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1675 Impact SS 2013 could be the deciding factor.
At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Lund WC 14 Tiller 2009 comes in at 12 lbs per hp versus 13 lbs per hp for the Lund 1675 Impact SS 2013. 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 SS 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 WC 14 Tiller 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
