Matching a modified vee Lund 1800 Fisherman OB 2006 against a deep vee Lund 1950 Tyee 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 Fisherman OB 2006 at 18,0 ft versus Lund 1950 Tyee 2013 at 19,7 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1950 Tyee 2013 tips the scales at 1 735 lbs — 260 lbs less than the Lund 1800 Fisherman OB 2006 at 1 475 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 225 hp, the Lund 1950 Tyee 2013 has a 50-hp advantage over the Lund 1800 Fisherman OB 2006's 175-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 4 gal and 5 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 1950 Tyee 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Lund 1800 Fisherman OB 2006 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1950 Tyee 2013 could be the deciding factor.
