The Triton Boats 17 Pro Series 2013 vs Triton Boats Frontier 19 T 2007 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 — Triton Boats 17 Pro Series 2013 at 17,5 ft versus Triton Boats Frontier 19 T 2007 at 19,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Triton Boats 17 Pro Series 2013 tips the scales at 1 086 lbs — 980 lbs more than the Triton Boats Frontier 19 T 2007 at 106 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 — 50 hp for the Triton Boats 17 Pro Series 2013 and 50 hp for the Triton Boats Frontier 19 T 2007. 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. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 26 gal and 24 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Triton Boats 17 Pro Series 2013 is rated for 550 passengers, while the Triton Boats Frontier 19 T 2007 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Triton Boats 17 Pro Series 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Triton Boats 17 Pro Series 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 550 passengers and at 17,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Triton Boats Frontier 19 T 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
