The Lund 1700 Pro Sport OB 2005 vs Lund 1775 Renegade SS 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 1700 Pro Sport OB 2005 at 16,0 ft versus Lund 1775 Renegade SS 2022 at 17,9 ft.

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.

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1700 Pro Sport OB 2005 could be the deciding factor.

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.
