When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Triton Boats 1546 DS 2008 and the Triton Boats 1657 SS 2010 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?

The Triton Boats 1657 SS 2010 tops out at 40 hp. Engine specs for the Triton Boats 1546 DS 2008 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.
