Matching a deep vee Lund 1825 Rebel XL SS 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 1825 Rebel XL SS 2013 at 18,3 ft versus Lund 2010 Explorer Sport 2011 at 20,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1825 Rebel XL SS 2013 tips the scales at 895 lbs — 720 lbs more than the Lund 2010 Explorer Sport 2011 at 175 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 200 hp, the Lund 2010 Explorer Sport 2011 has a 75-hp advantage over the Lund 1825 Rebel XL SS 2013's 125-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 Rebel XL SS 2013 carries 19 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.
