Matching a deep vee Lund 1825 Rebel XL Sport 2013 against a modified vee Lund Pro Angler 18 Tiller 2005 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 Rebel XL Sport 2013 at 18,3 ft versus Lund Pro Angler 18 Tiller 2005 at 18,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1825 Rebel XL Sport 2013 tips the scales at 895 lbs — 767 lbs more than the Lund Pro Angler 18 Tiller 2005 at 128 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 125 hp, the Lund 1825 Rebel XL Sport 2013 has a 35-hp advantage over the Lund Pro Angler 18 Tiller 2005'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 Pro Angler 18 Tiller 2005 carries 32 gallons versus 19 gallons in the Lund 1825 Rebel XL Sport 2013. 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.
