Matching a deep vee Lund 1800 Sport Angler 2013 against a modified vee Lund 2010 Explorer Sport 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 Sport Angler 2013 at 18,5 ft versus Lund 2010 Explorer Sport 2011 at 20,2 ft. At 146 lbs and 175 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 200 hp, the Lund 2010 Explorer Sport 2011 has a 25-hp advantage over the Lund 1800 Sport Angler 2013's 175-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 Sport Angler 2013 carries 41 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Lund 2010 Explorer Sport 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

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.
