Matching a deep vee Lund 1775 Pro-V SE 2013 against a modified vee Lund A 12 Tiller 2009 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 SE 2013 measures 17,8 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 5,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund A 12 Tiller 2009 at 12,0 feet (2009). At 135 lbs and 164 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 150 hp, the Lund 1775 Pro-V SE 2013 has a 140-hp advantage over the Lund A 12 Tiller 2009'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 SE 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Lund A 12 Tiller 2009 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 SE 2013 could be the deciding factor.
At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Lund 1775 Pro-V SE 2013 comes in at 1 lbs per hp versus 16 lbs per hp for the Lund A 12 Tiller 2009. 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.
Bottom line: Choose the Lund 1775 Pro-V SE 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 17,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lund A 12 Tiller 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.
