Matching a deep vee Lund 186 Tyee GL 2013 against a modified vee Lund 2010 Predator SS 2011 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 Tyee GL 2013 at 18,5 ft versus Lund 2010 Predator SS 2011 at 20,2 ft. At 18 lbs and 16 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 2010 Predator SS 2011 has a 25-hp advantage over the Lund 186 Tyee GL 2013's 200-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 4 gal and 5 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 186 Tyee GL 2013 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Lund 2010 Predator SS 2011 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 186 Tyee GL 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Lund 186 Tyee GL 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 18,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lund 2010 Predator SS 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
