Matching a deep vee Lund 1750 Tyee 2013 against a modified vee Lund Mr. Pike 17 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 Tyee 2013 at 17,5 ft versus Lund Mr. Pike 17 2006 at 17,0 ft. At 1 345 lbs and 1 285 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 150 hp for the Lund 1750 Tyee 2013 and 140 hp for the Lund Mr. Pike 17 2006. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Lund Mr. Pike 17 2006 carries 32 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 Mr. Pike 17 2006 caps at 6. 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 9 lbs per hp for the Lund Mr. Pike 17 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.
