When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Lund A 12 Tiller 2007 and the Lund Classic 1660 SS 2006 are modified vee designs with aluminum 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?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Lund Classic 1660 SS 2006 measures 16,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 4,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund A 12 Tiller 2007 at 12,0 feet (2007). At 164 lbs and 84 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 60 hp, the Lund Classic 1660 SS 2006 has a 50-hp advantage over the Lund A 12 Tiller 2007'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 Classic 1660 SS 2006 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Lund A 12 Tiller 2007 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund Classic 1660 SS 2006 could be the deciding factor.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Lund Classic 1660 SS 2006 comes in at 1 lbs per hp versus 16 lbs per hp for the Lund A 12 Tiller 2007. The lower the ratio the more explosive the acceleration — meaningful on a short RIB where bursts of speed, quick planing, and agility in surf or tight waterways define the experience.
