Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Lund 2000 Alaskan SS 2007 vs Lund U1756 2005: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Lund 2000 Alaskan SS 2007 vs Lund U1756 2005 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story: intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Lund 2000 Alaskan SS 2007 at 20,0 ft versus Lund U1756 2005 at 17,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 2000 Alaskan SS 2007 tips the scales at 1 200 lbs - 460 lbs more than the Lund U1756 2005 at 740 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 125 hp, the Lund 2000 Alaskan SS 2007 has a 70-hp advantage over the Lund U1756 2005's 55-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 2000 Alaskan SS 2007 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Lund U1756 2005 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 2000 Alaskan SS 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Lund 2000 Alaskan SS 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 6 passengers and at 20,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lund U1756 2005 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
