Both the Lund 1700 Pro Sport 2010 and the Lund 2000 Alaskan DC 2011 are modified-V designs, both built in aluminium, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Lund 2000 Alaskan DC 2011 measures 20,5 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 3,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund 1700 Pro Sport 2010 at 17,0 feet (2010). At 1 200 lbs and 1 275 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 2000 Alaskan DC 2011. 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 2000 Alaskan DC 2011 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 2000 Alaskan DC 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Lund 2000 Alaskan DC 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 6 passengers and at 20,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lund 1700 Pro Sport 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
