Matching a modified vee Lund 186 Pro Sport GL 2010 against a deep vee Lund A 12 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Lund 186 Pro Sport GL 2010 measures 18,5 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 6,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund A 12 2013 at 12,1 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund A 12 2013 tips the scales at 164 lbs — 146 lbs less than the Lund 186 Pro Sport GL 2010 at 18 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 A 12 2013 tops out at 10 hp. Engine specs for the Lund 186 Pro Sport GL 2010 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 186 Pro Sport GL 2010 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Lund A 12 2013 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 186 Pro Sport GL 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Lund 186 Pro Sport GL 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 5 passengers and at 18,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lund A 12 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.
