When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Lund 1800 Fisherman ITS 2007 and the Lund 1825 Pro Guide 2009 are modified vee designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 175 hp, the Lund 1800 Fisherman ITS 2007 has a 85-hp advantage over the Lund 1825 Pro Guide 2009's 90-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 32 gal and 32 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
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.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Lund 1800 Fisherman ITS 2007 and its 175-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Lund 1825 Pro Guide 2009 with its 90-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
