Matching a modified vee Lund 1800 & 2000 Sport Angler 2012 against a deep vee Lund 2000 Alaskan SS 2013 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Lund 1800 & 2000 Sport Angler 2012 at 18,5 ft versus Lund 2000 Alaskan SS 2013 at 20,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1800 & 2000 Sport Angler 2012 tips the scales at 146 lbs — 134 lbs more than the Lund 2000 Alaskan SS 2013 at 12 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 175 hp, the Lund 1800 & 2000 Sport Angler 2012 has a 50-hp advantage over the Lund 2000 Alaskan SS 2013's 125-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 1800 & 2000 Sport Angler 2012 carries 41 gallons versus 27 gallons in the Lund 2000 Alaskan SS 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 2000 Alaskan SS 2013 could be the deciding factor.
