When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Lund 2010 Explorer Sport 2009 and the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2009 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?
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Lund 2010 Explorer Sport 2009 at 2,0 ft versus Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2009 at 2,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 2010 Explorer Sport 2009 tips the scales at 175 lbs — 153 lbs more than the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2009 at 22 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 Lund 2010 Explorer Sport 2009 carries a rated maximum of 200 hp. Engine data for the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2009 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 5 gal and 6 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 Explorer Sport 2009 and Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2009 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
