Lund 1852MT Jon 2011 vs Lund 1950 Tyee 2012: Same Brand, Different Boat

The Lund 1852MT Jon 2011 is a flat-bottom design and the Lund 1950 Tyee 2012 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 1852MT Jon 2011 at 18,0 ft versus Lund 1950 Tyee 2012 at 19,7 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1950 Tyee 2012 tips the scales at 1 735 lbs - 1 260 lbs less than the Lund 1852MT Jon 2011 at 475 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 225 hp, the Lund 1950 Tyee 2012 has a 160-hp advantage over the Lund 1852MT Jon 2011's 65-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

Both boats are rated for 5 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: Performance buyers should lean toward the Lund 1950 Tyee 2012 and its 225-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Lund 1852MT Jon 2011 with its 65-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.

Lund 1852MT Jon 2011 vs Lund 1950 Tyee 2012 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Lund 1852MT Jon 2011 or the Lund 1950 Tyee 2012?
The Lund 1950 Tyee 2012 is the longer of the two at 19,7 feet overall. The Lund 1852MT Jon 2011 comes in at 18,0 feet, making it roughly 1,7 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Lund 1852MT Jon 2011 or the Lund 1950 Tyee 2012?
For trailering, the Lund 1852MT Jon 2011 has the edge at 475 lbs dry weight versus 1 735 lbs for the Lund 1950 Tyee 2012. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Lund 1950 Tyee 2012 is rated to a maximum of 225 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Lund 1852MT Jon 2011 tops out at 65 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that - matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Lund 1852MT Jon 2011 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Lund 1950 Tyee 2012 is certified for 5. 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.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Lund 1950 Tyee 2012 measures 98" wide, compared to 75" for the Lund 1852MT Jon 2011. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states - anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Are the Lund 1852MT Jon 2011 and Lund 1950 Tyee 2012 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Lund 1852MT Jon 2011 and the Lund 1950 Tyee 2012 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.
