The Sea Hunt Triton 240 2006 vs Sea Hunt Ultra 232 2010 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Sea Hunt Triton 240 2006 at 24,0 ft versus Sea Hunt Ultra 232 2010 at 23,2 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Sea Hunt Ultra 232 2010 tips the scales at 255 lbs — 223 lbs less than the Sea Hunt Triton 240 2006 at 32 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 Sea Hunt Triton 240 2006 has a 50-hp advantage over the Sea Hunt Ultra 232 2010's 250-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Sea Hunt Ultra 232 2010 carries 103 gallons versus 12 gallons in the Sea Hunt Triton 240 2006. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Sea Hunt Triton 240 2006 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Sea Hunt Ultra 232 2010 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Sea Hunt Triton 240 2006 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Sea Hunt Triton 240 2006 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Sea Hunt Ultra 232 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
