Matching a deep vee Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2013 against a modified vee Lund A 12 Tiller 2008 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 208 Pro-V GL 2013 measures 20,7 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 8,7 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund A 12 Tiller 2008 at 12,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund A 12 Tiller 2008 tips the scales at 164 lbs — 142 lbs less than the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2013 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 300 hp, the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2013 has a 290-hp advantage over the Lund A 12 Tiller 2008's 10-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Lund A 12 Tiller 2008 caps at 3. 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 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Lund 208 Pro-V GL 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 20,7 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lund A 12 Tiller 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 3 that costs less to run day-to-day.
