Matching a deep vee Lund 1775 Pro-V IFS 2013 against a modified vee Lund 2000 Sport Angler 2008 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Lund 1775 Pro-V IFS 2013 measures 17,8 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 15,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund 2000 Sport Angler 2008 at 2,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1775 Pro-V IFS 2013 tips the scales at 135 lbs — 119 lbs more than the Lund 2000 Sport Angler 2008 at 16 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 225 hp, the Lund 2000 Sport Angler 2008 has a 75-hp advantage over the Lund 1775 Pro-V IFS 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 1775 Pro-V IFS 2013 carries 32 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Lund 2000 Sport Angler 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 6 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.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Lund 2000 Sport Angler 2008 comes in at 0 lbs per hp versus 1 lbs per hp for the Lund 1775 Pro-V IFS 2013. 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.
