Lund 1852MT Jon 2012 vs Lund 2010 Predator 2013: Same Brand, Different Boat

The Lund 1852MT Jon 2012 is a flat-bottom design and the Lund 2010 Predator 2013 is a deep-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 2012 at 18,0 ft versus Lund 2010 Predator 2013 at 20,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 2010 Predator 2013 tips the scales at 1 600 lbs - 1 125 lbs less than the Lund 1852MT Jon 2012 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 2010 Predator 2013 has a 160-hp advantage over the Lund 1852MT Jon 2012's 65-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 1852MT Jon 2012 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Lund 2010 Predator 2013 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1852MT Jon 2012 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Lund 1852MT Jon 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 5 passengers and at 18,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lund 2010 Predator 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Lund 1852MT Jon 2012 vs Lund 2010 Predator 2013 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Lund 1852MT Jon 2012 or the Lund 2010 Predator 2013?
The Lund 2010 Predator 2013 is the longer of the two at 20,2 feet overall. The Lund 1852MT Jon 2012 comes in at 18,0 feet, making it roughly 2,2 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Lund 1852MT Jon 2012 or the Lund 2010 Predator 2013?
For trailering, the Lund 1852MT Jon 2012 has the edge at 475 lbs dry weight versus 1 600 lbs for the Lund 2010 Predator 2013. 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 2010 Predator 2013 is rated to a maximum of 225 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Lund 1852MT Jon 2012 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 2012 is Coast Guard rated for 5 passengers, while the Lund 2010 Predator 2013 is certified for 4. 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 2010 Predator 2013 measures 90" wide, compared to 75" for the Lund 1852MT Jon 2012. 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 2012 and Lund 2010 Predator 2013 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Lund 1852MT Jon 2012 and the Lund 2010 Predator 2013 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.
