Matching a modified vee Lund 1800 Alaskan Tiller 2010 against a flat Lund 1852MT Jon 2011 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 2010 at 18,8 ft versus Lund 1852MT Jon 2011 at 18,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1800 Alaskan Tiller 2010 tips the scales at 975 lbs — 500 lbs more than the Lund 1852MT Jon 2011 at 475 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 — 75 hp for the Lund 1800 Alaskan Tiller 2010 and 65 hp for the Lund 1852MT Jon 2011. 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.

Both boats are rated for 5 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.
