Matching a deep vee Lund 1825 Pro Guide 2013 against a modified vee Lund Mr. Pike 16 2006 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 1825 Pro Guide 2013 at 18,3 ft versus Lund Mr. Pike 16 2006 at 16,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund Mr. Pike 16 2006 tips the scales at 1 215 lbs — 1 093 lbs less than the Lund 1825 Pro Guide 2013 at 122 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.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 90 hp for the Lund 1825 Pro Guide 2013 and 100 hp for the Lund Mr. Pike 16 2006. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Lund 1825 Pro Guide 2013 carries 32 gallons versus 27 gallons in the Lund Mr. Pike 16 2006. 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 Mr. Pike 16 2006 at 16,0 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.
