Matching a deep vee Lund 1950 Tyee 2013 against a modified vee Lund 2010 Explorer SS 2009 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 1950 Tyee 2013 measures 19,7 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 17,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund 2010 Explorer SS 2009 at 2,0 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 1950 Tyee 2013 tips the scales at 1 735 lbs — 1 718 lbs more than the Lund 2010 Explorer SS 2009 at 17 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 1950 Tyee 2013 has a 25-hp advantage over the Lund 2010 Explorer SS 2009'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 — 5 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 1950 Tyee 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Lund 2010 Explorer SS 2009 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 1950 Tyee 2013 could be the deciding factor.
