The Lund 1750 Tyee 2013 is a deep-V design and the Lund 1800 Pro-V Tiller 2008 is a modified-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 1750 Tyee 2013 at 17,5 ft versus Lund 1800 Pro-V Tiller 2008 at 18,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1800 Pro-V Tiller 2008 tips the scales at 1 500 lbs - 155 lbs less than the Lund 1750 Tyee 2013 at 1 345 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 Tyee 2013 has a 60-hp advantage over the Lund 1800 Pro-V Tiller 2008's 90-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 1800 Pro-V Tiller 2008 carries 40 gallons versus 27 gallons in the Lund 1750 Tyee 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 1750 Tyee 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Lund 1800 Pro-V Tiller 2008 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1750 Tyee 2013 could be the deciding factor.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Lund 1750 Tyee 2013 comes in at 9 lbs per hp versus 17 lbs per hp for the Lund 1800 Pro-V Tiller 2008. 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.
