The Lund 1700 Pro Sport OB 2005 vs Lund 2025 Impact XS Sport 2021 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Lund 2025 Impact XS Sport 2021 measures 20,2 feet overall (2021), giving it roughly 4,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund 1700 Pro Sport OB 2005 at 16,0 feet (2005). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 2025 Impact XS Sport 2021 tips the scales at 2 000 lbs — 1 988 lbs less than the Lund 1700 Pro Sport OB 2005 at 12 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 115 hp for the Lund 1700 Pro Sport OB 2005 and 115 hp for the Lund 2025 Impact XS Sport 2021. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Lund 2025 Impact XS Sport 2021 carries 46 gallons versus 24 gallons in the Lund 1700 Pro Sport OB 2005. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 6 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.
Bottom line: The Lund 2025 Impact XS Sport 2021 at 20,2 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Lund 1700 Pro Sport OB 2005 at 16,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
