The Lund 2000 Alaskan Tiller 2011 vs Lund U2070 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Lund 2000 Alaskan Tiller 2011 measures 20,5 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 18,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund U2070 2005 at 2,0 feet (2005). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 2000 Alaskan Tiller 2011 tips the scales at 1 105 lbs — 1 097 lbs more than the Lund U2070 2005 at 8 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 115 hp, the Lund 2000 Alaskan Tiller 2011 has a 55-hp advantage over the Lund U2070 2005's 60-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
Both boats are rated for 6 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Lund 2000 Alaskan Tiller 2011 at 20,5 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Lund U2070 2005 at 2,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
