Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Lund 2010 Explorer Sport 2008 vs Lund 2010 Pro Guide 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Lund 2010 Explorer Sport 2008 against a deep vee Lund 2010 Pro Guide 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely 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 2010 Pro Guide 2013 measures 20,2 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 18,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund 2010 Explorer Sport 2008 at 2,0 feet (2008). At 175 lbs and 144 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 200 hp for the Lund 2010 Explorer Sport 2008 and 200 hp for the Lund 2010 Pro Guide 2013. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 5 gal and 4 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
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 2010 Pro Guide 2013 at 20,2 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Lund 2010 Explorer Sport 2008 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.
