Matching a deep vee Lund 1825 Pro Guide 2013 against a modified vee Lund 2010 Explorer Sport 2008 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Lund 1825 Pro Guide 2013 measures 18,3 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 16,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund 2010 Explorer Sport 2008 at 2,0 feet (2008). At 122 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 2008 has a 110-hp advantage over the Lund 1825 Pro Guide 2013's 90-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 1825 Pro Guide 2013 carries 32 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Lund 2010 Explorer Sport 2008. 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.
Bottom line: The Lund 1825 Pro Guide 2013 at 18,3 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Lund 2010 Explorer Sport 2008 at 2,0 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.
