The Lund 1700 Pro Sport 2010 is a modified-V design and the Lund 1775 Impact Sport 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 2010 at 17,0 ft versus Lund 1775 Impact Sport 2013 at 17,8 ft. At 1 200 lbs and 1 170 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class - either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 125 hp for the Lund 1700 Pro Sport 2010 and 125 hp for the Lund 1775 Impact Sport 2013. 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. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads - 24 gal and 27 gal - so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 1775 Impact Sport 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Lund 1700 Pro Sport 2010 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1775 Impact Sport 2013 could be the deciding factor.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Lund 1775 Impact Sport 2013 comes in at 9 lbs per hp versus 10 lbs per hp for the Lund 1700 Pro Sport 2010. 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.
