Matching a deep vee Lund 186 Pro-V GL 2013 against a modified vee Lund 1900 Pro-V 2005 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.

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 2005 at 19,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1900 Pro-V 2005 tips the scales at 1 885 lbs — 1 867 lbs less than the Lund 186 Pro-V GL 2013 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 225 hp, the Lund 1900 Pro-V 2005 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 2005 carries 45 gallons versus 4 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.

Both boats are rated for 6 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.
