Matching a deep vee Lund 1775 Pro-V IFS 2013 against a modified vee Lund 1825 Explorer SS 2012 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 1775 Pro-V IFS 2013 at 17,8 ft versus Lund 1825 Explorer SS 2012 at 18,3 ft. At 135 lbs and 145 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 1775 Pro-V IFS 2013 and 150 hp for the Lund 1825 Explorer SS 2012. 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. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 32 gal and 32 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 1775 Pro-V IFS 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Lund 1825 Explorer SS 2012 caps at 5.
