The Lund 1760 Predator Tiller SS/Tiller 2021 vs Lund A 12 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Lund 1760 Predator Tiller SS/Tiller 2021 measures 17,0 feet overall (2021), giving it roughly 4,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund A 12 2010 at 12,1 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1760 Predator Tiller SS/Tiller 2021 tips the scales at 750 lbs — 586 lbs more than the Lund A 12 2010 at 164 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 1760 Predator Tiller SS/Tiller 2021 has a 50-hp advantage over the Lund A 12 2010's 10-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 1760 Predator Tiller SS/Tiller 2021 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Lund A 12 2010 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1760 Predator Tiller SS/Tiller 2021 could be the deciding factor.
At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Lund 1760 Predator Tiller SS/Tiller 2021 comes in at 13 lbs per hp versus 16 lbs per hp for the Lund A 12 2010. 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.
The Lund 1760 Predator Tiller SS/Tiller 2021 is trailerable — a genuine lifestyle advantage at this size. The Lund A 12 2010 isn't listed as trailerable, which may mean a permanent berth or mooring is required.
Bottom line: Choose the Lund 1760 Predator Tiller SS/Tiller 2021 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 5 passengers and at 17,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lund A 12 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.
