Matching a deep vee Lund 1875 Crossover XS 2013 against a modified vee Lund 2000 Alaskan 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.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Lund 1875 Crossover XS 2013 measures 18,8 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 16,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund 2000 Alaskan 2005 at 2,0 feet (2005). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1875 Crossover XS 2013 tips the scales at 1 558 lbs — 373 lbs more than the Lund 2000 Alaskan 2005 at 1 185 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 175 hp, the Lund 1875 Crossover XS 2013 has a 50-hp advantage over the Lund 2000 Alaskan 2005's 125-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 1875 Crossover XS 2013 carries 32 gallons versus 27 gallons in the Lund 2000 Alaskan 2005. 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 1875 Crossover XS 2013 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Lund 2000 Alaskan 2005 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1875 Crossover XS 2013 could be the deciding factor.
