Matching a modified vee Lund 1800 Alaskan Tiller 2006 against a deep vee Lund 2025 Impact 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 Alaskan Tiller 2006 at 18,0 ft versus Lund 2025 Impact 2013 at 20,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1800 Alaskan Tiller 2006 tips the scales at 975 lbs — 800 lbs more than the Lund 2025 Impact 2013 at 175 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 200 hp, the Lund 2025 Impact 2013 has a 125-hp advantage over the Lund 1800 Alaskan Tiller 2006's 75-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 Alaskan Tiller 2006 carries 19 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Lund 2025 Impact 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 Tiller 2006 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Lund 2025 Impact 2013 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 Tiller 2006 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Lund 1800 Alaskan Tiller 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 18,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lund 2025 Impact 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
