Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Lund 186 Fisherman GL 2008 vs Lund Classic 1775 SS 2006 — A Close Look at Two Modified Vees
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Lund 186 Fisherman GL 2008 and the Lund Classic 1775 SS 2006 are modified vee designs with fiberglass construction — 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 Classic 1775 SS 2006 tops out at 90 hp. Engine specs for the Lund 186 Fisherman GL 2008 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Lund Classic 1775 SS 2006 carries 19 gallons versus 4 gallons in the Lund 186 Fisherman GL 2008. 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 Classic 1775 SS 2006 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Lund 186 Fisherman GL 2008 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund Classic 1775 SS 2006 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Lund Classic 1775 SS 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 17,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lund 186 Fisherman GL 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
