When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Lund 2000 Alaskan Tiller 2013 and the Lund WD 14 2011 are modified vee designs with aluminum construction — 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 2000 Alaskan Tiller 2013 measures 20,5 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 6,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund WD 14 2011 at 14,5 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 2000 Alaskan Tiller 2013 tips the scales at 1 105 lbs — 1 081 lbs more than the Lund WD 14 2011 at 24 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 Tiller 2013 has a 100-hp advantage over the Lund WD 14 2011's 25-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 Tiller 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Lund WD 14 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 Tiller 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Lund 2000 Alaskan Tiller 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 20,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lund WD 14 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
