The Triton Boats 173 Sport 2007 vs Triton Boats 19 Explorer 2009 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 200 hp, the Triton Boats 19 Explorer 2009 has a 120-hp advantage over the Triton Boats 173 Sport 2007's 80-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Triton Boats 19 Explorer 2009 and its 200-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Triton Boats 173 Sport 2007 with its 80-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
