Matching a deep vee Lund 1750 Outfitter Tiller 2013 against a modified vee Lund WC 16 DLX 2006 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Lund 1750 Outfitter Tiller 2013 at 17,6 ft versus Lund WC 16 DLX 2006 at 16,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1750 Outfitter Tiller 2013 tips the scales at 805 lbs — 380 lbs more than the Lund WC 16 DLX 2006 at 425 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 60 hp, the Lund 1750 Outfitter Tiller 2013 has a 30-hp advantage over the Lund WC 16 DLX 2006's 30-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
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.
At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Lund 1750 Outfitter Tiller 2013 comes in at 13 lbs per hp versus 14 lbs per hp for the Lund WC 16 DLX 2006. 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.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Lund 1750 Outfitter Tiller 2013 and its 60-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Lund WC 16 DLX 2006 with its 30-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
