Matching a deep vee Lund 1725 Pro Guide 2013 against a modified vee Lund 2000 Alaskan DC 2011 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Lund 2000 Alaskan DC 2011 measures 20,5 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 3,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund 1725 Pro Guide 2013 at 17,3 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 2000 Alaskan DC 2011 tips the scales at 1 275 lbs — 1 163 lbs less than the Lund 1725 Pro Guide 2013 at 112 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 125 hp, the Lund 2000 Alaskan DC 2011 has a 50-hp advantage over the Lund 1725 Pro Guide 2013's 75-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 27 gal and 27 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

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.
