The Lund 1775 Renegade SS 2022 vs Lund SSV 16 2012 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Lund 1775 Renegade SS 2022 at 17,9 ft versus Lund SSV 16 2012 at 16,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1775 Renegade SS 2022 tips the scales at 1 225 lbs — 1 190 lbs more than the Lund SSV 16 2012 at 35 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 50 hp for the Lund 1775 Renegade SS 2022 and 40 hp for the Lund SSV 16 2012. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 1775 Renegade SS 2022 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Lund SSV 16 2012 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1775 Renegade SS 2022 could be the deciding factor.

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.

The Lund 1775 Renegade SS 2022 is trailerable — a genuine lifestyle advantage at this size. The Lund SSV 16 2012 isn't listed as trailerable, which may mean a permanent berth or mooring is required.
