When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Lund 1775 Pro-V 2005 and the Lund 2025 Pro-V SE 2007 are modified vee designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Lund 1775 Pro-V 2005 measures 17,0 feet overall (2005), giving it roughly 15,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund 2025 Pro-V SE 2007 at 2,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1775 Pro-V 2005 tips the scales at 1 355 lbs — 1 336 lbs more than the Lund 2025 Pro-V SE 2007 at 19 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 275 hp, the Lund 2025 Pro-V SE 2007 has a 125-hp advantage over the Lund 1775 Pro-V 2005'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 2025 Pro-V SE 2007 carries 55 gallons versus 32 gallons in the Lund 1775 Pro-V 2005. 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 2025 Pro-V SE 2007 comes in at 0 lbs per hp versus 9 lbs per hp for the Lund 1775 Pro-V 2005. 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.
