Matching a deep vee Lund 1800 Tyee 2013 against a modified vee Lund Mr. Pike 17 2007 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 Tyee 2013 at 18,1 ft versus Lund Mr. Pike 17 2007 at 17,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund Mr. Pike 17 2007 tips the scales at 1 285 lbs — 1 271 lbs less than the Lund 1800 Tyee 2013 at 14 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.

Rated to 175 hp, the Lund 1800 Tyee 2013 has a 35-hp advantage over the Lund Mr. Pike 17 2007's 140-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 29 gal and 32 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 1800 Tyee 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Lund Mr. Pike 17 2007 caps at 5.
