Just looked up comparable boats Lund Pro-V 2075 and Ranger 620VS and the Ranger is 150-200lbs more. That difference could be made up by some gear or an out-of-shape fishing partner.


I was surprised to fact check that after your post and come up with the same thing. I've fished out of 620's, 618's, 18' bass style Ranger & a 16' glass bass tracker and comparing all these boats to a 18' Deep V Lund, 16' Deep V Lund, 18' modified V tracker and 16' modified V Lund There seemed to be no comparison in how the glass boats performed in wind vs. the aluminum. I assumed this was entirely weight related but perhaps it's just a better hull design and a side design that doesn't catch the wind as bad, interesting. I agree though, the weight seems to not be an issue comparing a 20' Ranger to a 20' Lund.
