Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Lund 1875 Pro-V IFS 2013 vs Lund SSV 18 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Lund 1875 Pro-V IFS 2013 against a modified vee Lund SSV 18 2012 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 1875 Pro-V IFS 2013 at 18,8 ft versus Lund SSV 18 2012 at 18,3 ft. At 16 lbs and 46 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 200 hp, the Lund 1875 Pro-V IFS 2013 has a 140-hp advantage over the Lund SSV 18 2012's 60-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 1875 Pro-V IFS 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Lund SSV 18 2012 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1875 Pro-V IFS 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Lund 1875 Pro-V IFS 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 18,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lund SSV 18 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
