Matching a deep vee Lund 2150 Baron 2013 against a modified vee Lund A 12 2005 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 2150 Baron 2013 measures 21,8 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 9,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund A 12 2005 at 12,0 feet (2005). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund A 12 2005 tips the scales at 165 lbs — 144 lbs less than the Lund 2150 Baron 2013 at 21 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 2150 Baron 2013 has a 290-hp advantage over the Lund A 12 2005'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 A 12 2005 is rated for 3 passengers, while the Lund 2150 Baron 2013 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund A 12 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Lund A 12 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 3 passengers and at 12,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Lund 2150 Baron 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
