The Lund 1700 Pro Sport OB 2006 is a modified-V design and the Lund 1800 Sport Angler 2013 is a deep-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 1700 Pro Sport OB 2006 at 16,0 ft versus Lund 1800 Sport Angler 2013 at 18,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1800 Sport Angler 2013 tips the scales at 1 460 lbs - 260 lbs less than the Lund 1700 Pro Sport OB 2006 at 1 200 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 175 hp, the Lund 1800 Sport Angler 2013 has a 60-hp advantage over the Lund 1700 Pro Sport OB 2006's 115-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 1800 Sport Angler 2013 carries 41 gallons versus 24 gallons in the Lund 1700 Pro Sport OB 2006. 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.
