The Lund 1775 Pro-V SE 2013 is a deep-V design and the Lund Pro Angler 17 2007 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Lund 1775 Pro-V SE 2013 at 17,8 ft versus Lund Pro Angler 17 2007 at 17,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1775 Pro-V SE 2013 tips the scales at 1 350 lbs - 140 lbs more than the Lund Pro Angler 17 2007 at 1 210 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 SE 2013 has a 75-hp advantage over the Lund Pro Angler 17 2007's 75-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. 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 SE 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Lund Pro Angler 17 2007 caps at 5. 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 9 lbs per hp versus 16 lbs per hp for the Lund Pro Angler 17 2007. 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.
