Matching a deep vee Lund 1800 Alaskan DC 2013 against a modified vee Lund Pro Angler 16 Tiller 2005 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 Alaskan DC 2013 at 18,8 ft versus Lund Pro Angler 16 Tiller 2005 at 16,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1800 Alaskan DC 2013 tips the scales at 1 105 lbs — 998 lbs more than the Lund Pro Angler 16 Tiller 2005 at 107 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 — 90 hp for the Lund 1800 Alaskan DC 2013 and 75 hp for the Lund Pro Angler 16 Tiller 2005. 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. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Lund Pro Angler 16 Tiller 2005 carries 27 gallons versus 19 gallons in the Lund 1800 Alaskan DC 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 1800 Alaskan DC 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Lund Pro Angler 16 Tiller 2005 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1800 Alaskan DC 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Lund 1800 Alaskan DC 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 18,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lund Pro Angler 16 Tiller 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
