When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Lund 186 Pro Sport GL 2009 and the Lund WC 16 DLX 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?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Lund 186 Pro Sport GL 2009 at 18,0 ft versus Lund WC 16 DLX 2006 at 16,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund WC 16 DLX 2006 tips the scales at 425 lbs — 250 lbs less than the Lund 186 Pro Sport GL 2009 at 175 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 Lund WC 16 DLX 2006 tops out at 30 hp. Engine specs for the Lund 186 Pro Sport GL 2009 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
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: The Lund 186 Pro Sport GL 2009 and Lund WC 16 DLX 2006 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
