Both the Lund 2010 Predator Tiller 2009 and the Lund Pro Angler 16 Tiller 2005 are modified-V designs, both built in aluminium, so 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 2010 Predator Tiller 2009 measures 20,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 4,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund Pro Angler 16 Tiller 2005 at 16,0 feet (2005). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 2010 Predator Tiller 2009 tips the scales at 1 530 lbs - 460 lbs more than the Lund Pro Angler 16 Tiller 2005 at 1 070 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 225 hp, the Lund 2010 Predator Tiller 2009 has a 150-hp advantage over the Lund Pro Angler 16 Tiller 2005's 75-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Lund 2010 Predator Tiller 2009 carries 50 gallons versus 27 gallons in the Lund Pro Angler 16 Tiller 2005. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

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.
