The Lund 1825 Rebel XL SS 2013 is a deep-V design and the Lund SSV 16 2011 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 SSV 16 2011 at 16,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1825 Rebel XL SS 2013 tips the scales at 895 lbs - 545 lbs more than the Lund SSV 16 2011 at 350 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.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 1825 Rebel XL SS 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Lund SSV 16 2011 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1825 Rebel XL SS 2013 could be the deciding factor.
