The Lund 1775 Pro-V IFS 2013 is a deep-V design and the Lund A 12 2012 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 5,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund A 12 2012 at 12,1 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1775 Pro-V IFS 2013 tips the scales at 1 350 lbs - 1 186 lbs more than the Lund A 12 2012 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 150 hp, the Lund 1775 Pro-V IFS 2013 has a 140-hp advantage over the Lund A 12 2012'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 1775 Pro-V IFS 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Lund A 12 2012 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1775 Pro-V IFS 2013 could be the deciding factor.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Lund 1775 Pro-V IFS 2013 comes in at 9 lbs per hp versus 16 lbs per hp for the Lund A 12 2012. 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.
