Matching a modified vee Lund 1800 Pro-V IFS 2006 against a deep vee Lund 2000 Sport Angler 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 Pro-V IFS 2006 at 18,0 ft versus Lund 2000 Sport Angler 2013 at 20,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1800 Pro-V IFS 2006 tips the scales at 162 lbs — 146 lbs more than the Lund 2000 Sport Angler 2013 at 16 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 2000 Sport Angler 2013 has a 50-hp advantage over the Lund 1800 Pro-V IFS 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.
Both boats are rated for 6 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: The Lund 2000 Sport Angler 2013 at 20,5 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Lund 1800 Pro-V IFS 2006 at 18,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
