The Lund 186 Pro-V GL 2013 is a deep-V design and the Lund 1900 Pro-V SE 2008 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 186 Pro-V GL 2013 at 18,5 ft versus Lund 1900 Pro-V SE 2008 at 19,0 ft. At 1 800 lbs and 1 730 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class - either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 225 hp, the Lund 1900 Pro-V SE 2008 has a 25-hp advantage over the Lund 186 Pro-V GL 2013's 200-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Lund 1900 Pro-V SE 2008 carries 45 gallons versus 40 gallons in the Lund 186 Pro-V GL 2013. 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 186 Pro-V GL 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Lund 1900 Pro-V SE 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 186 Pro-V GL 2013 could be the deciding factor.
