For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Sea Hunt Ultra 196 2008 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Sea Hunt Triton 202 2013 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sea Hunt Ultra 196 2008 could be the deciding factor.
