When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Lund 1750 Fisherman 2010 and the Lund 1800 Alaskan Tiller 2010 are modified vee designs with aluminum construction — 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?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Lund 1750 Fisherman 2010 at 17,5 ft versus Lund 1800 Alaskan Tiller 2010 at 18,8 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1750 Fisherman 2010 tips the scales at 1 345 lbs — 370 lbs more than the Lund 1800 Alaskan Tiller 2010 at 975 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 150 hp, the Lund 1750 Fisherman 2010 has a 75-hp advantage over the Lund 1800 Alaskan Tiller 2010's 75-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 1750 Fisherman 2010 carries 27 gallons versus 19 gallons in the Lund 1800 Alaskan Tiller 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 5 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.
