When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2008 and the Lund SSV 14 2012 are modified vee designs with fiberglass 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?

The Lund SSV 14 2012 tops out at 35 hp. Engine specs for the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2008 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2008 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Lund SSV 14 2012 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2008 could be the deciding factor.
