Both the Lund 197 Pro-V GL 2009 and the Lund WC 14 Tiller 2007 are modified-V designs, the first built in fibreglass and the second in aluminium, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Lund 197 Pro-V GL 2009 measures 19,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 5,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund WC 14 Tiller 2007 at 14,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 197 Pro-V GL 2009 tips the scales at 2 100 lbs - 1 805 lbs more than the Lund WC 14 Tiller 2007 at 295 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 Lund WC 14 Tiller 2007 tops out at 25 hp. Engine specs for the Lund 197 Pro-V GL 2009 aren't listed - confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 197 Pro-V GL 2009 is rated for 5 passengers, while the Lund WC 14 Tiller 2007 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 197 Pro-V GL 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Lund 197 Pro-V GL 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 5 passengers and at 19,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lund WC 14 Tiller 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
