The Lund 2070 Predator SS/CC 2023 vs Lund Pro Angler 17 2007 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Lund 2070 Predator SS/CC 2023 at 20,0 ft versus Lund Pro Angler 17 2007 at 17,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund 2070 Predator SS/CC 2023 tips the scales at 1 100 lbs — 979 lbs more than the Lund Pro Angler 17 2007 at 121 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 150 hp, the Lund 2070 Predator SS/CC 2023 has a 75-hp advantage over the Lund Pro Angler 17 2007'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 Pro Angler 17 2007 carries 32 gallons versus 2 gallons in the Lund 2070 Predator SS/CC 2023. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 2070 Predator SS/CC 2023 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Lund Pro Angler 17 2007 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 2070 Predator SS/CC 2023 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Lund 2070 Predator SS/CC 2023 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 20,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lund Pro Angler 17 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
