Matching a deep vee Lund A 12 2013 against a modified vee Lund WC 16 Tiller 2009 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 WC 16 Tiller 2009 measures 16,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 3,9 additional feet of deck space compared to the Lund A 12 2013 at 12,1 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Lund WC 16 Tiller 2009 tips the scales at 335 lbs — 171 lbs less than the Lund A 12 2013 at 164 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 10 hp for the Lund A 12 2013 and 25 hp for the Lund WC 16 Tiller 2009. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Lund WC 16 Tiller 2009 is rated for 4 passengers, while the Lund A 12 2013 caps at 3. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Lund WC 16 Tiller 2009 could be the deciding factor.

At this size, power-to-weight ratio matters more than outright horsepower. The Lund WC 16 Tiller 2009 comes in at 13 lbs per hp versus 16 lbs per hp for the Lund A 12 2013. 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.
