The Lund 2000 Alaskan SS 2013 is a deep-V design and the Lund SSV 16 2011 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably 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 2000 Alaskan SS 2013 measures 20,5 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 4,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund SSV 16 2011 at 16,2 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 2000 Alaskan SS 2013 tips the scales at 1 200 lbs - 850 lbs more than the Lund SSV 16 2011 at 350 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 2013 has a 85-hp advantage over the Lund SSV 16 2011's 40-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 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Lund SSV 16 2011 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 2000 Alaskan SS 2013 could be the deciding factor.
