Matching a deep vee Lund 1900 Tyee 2013 against a modified vee Lund 2000 Alaskan Tiller 2008 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 1900 Tyee 2013 measures 19,1 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 17,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund 2000 Alaskan Tiller 2008 at 2,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 2000 Alaskan Tiller 2008 tips the scales at 1 105 lbs — 1 089 lbs less than the Lund 1900 Tyee 2013 at 16 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 200 hp, the Lund 1900 Tyee 2013 has a 85-hp advantage over the Lund 2000 Alaskan Tiller 2008's 115-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 2000 Alaskan Tiller 2008 carries 27 gallons versus 4 gallons in the Lund 1900 Tyee 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 1900 Tyee 2013 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Lund 2000 Alaskan Tiller 2008 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1900 Tyee 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Lund 1900 Tyee 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 19,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lund 2000 Alaskan Tiller 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
