The Lund 1760 Predator Tiller SS/Tiller 2021 vs Lund 1825 Explorer SS 2010 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Lund 1760 Predator Tiller SS/Tiller 2021 at 17,0 ft versus Lund 1825 Explorer SS 2010 at 18,3 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1760 Predator Tiller SS/Tiller 2021 tips the scales at 750 lbs — 736 lbs more than the Lund 1825 Explorer SS 2010 at 14 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 1825 Explorer SS 2010 has a 90-hp advantage over the Lund 1760 Predator Tiller SS/Tiller 2021's 60-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.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Lund 1825 Explorer SS 2010 and its 150-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Lund 1760 Predator Tiller SS/Tiller 2021 with its 60-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
