When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Lund 1750 Tyee 2013 and the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2013 are deep 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?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2013 measures 20,7 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 3,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund 1750 Tyee 2013 at 17,5 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1750 Tyee 2013 tips the scales at 1 345 lbs — 1 323 lbs more than the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2013 at 22 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 300 hp, the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2013 has a 150-hp advantage over the Lund 1750 Tyee 2013's 150-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 Tyee 2013 carries 27 gallons versus 6 gallons in the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 7 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.
Bottom line: The Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2013 at 20,7 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Lund 1750 Tyee 2013 at 17,5 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
