Lund 1850 Tyee 2011 vs Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2008: A Close Look at Two Modified-V Boats

Both the Lund 1850 Tyee 2011 and the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2008 are modified-V designs, the first built in aluminium and the second in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

The Lund 1850 Tyee 2011 carries a rated maximum of 200 hp. Engine data for the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2008 wasn't available in our records - check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2008 carries 60 gallons versus 40 gallons in the Lund 1850 Tyee 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2008 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Lund 1850 Tyee 2011 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2008 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 6 passengers and at 20,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lund 1850 Tyee 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Lund 1850 Tyee 2011 vs Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2008 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Lund 1850 Tyee 2011 or the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2008?
The Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2008 is the longer of the two at 20,0 feet overall. The Lund 1850 Tyee 2011 comes in at 18,5 feet, making it roughly 1,5 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
What is the maximum horsepower rating for these boats?
The Lund 1850 Tyee 2011 has a documented max rating of 200 hp. Engine specifications for the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2008 were not available in our database - check the OEM spec sheet or manufacturer's website for confirmation.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Lund 1850 Tyee 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2008 is certified for 6. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing - on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?
Both the Lund 1850 Tyee 2011 and Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2008 share an 96 in. beam - meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank - the Lund 1850 Tyee 2011 or the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2008?
The Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2008 has the bigger tank at 60 gallons, versus 40 gallons on the Lund 1850 Tyee 2011. That 20-gallon difference translates to roughly 60–100 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Lund 1850 Tyee 2011 and Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2008 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Lund 1850 Tyee 2011 and the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2008 are built by Lund. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
