Matching a deep vee Triton Boats 186 Allure 2013 against a modified vee Triton Boats TS-18 2009 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Triton Boats 186 Allure 2013 at 18,5 ft versus Triton Boats TS-18 2009 at 18,0 ft. At 195 lbs and 106 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 115 hp for the Triton Boats 186 Allure 2013 and 115 hp for the Triton Boats TS-18 2009. 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. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Triton Boats 186 Allure 2013 carries 31 gallons versus 19 gallons in the Triton Boats TS-18 2009. 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 Triton Boats TS-18 2009 is rated for 4 passengers, while the Triton Boats 186 Allure 2013 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Triton Boats TS-18 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Triton Boats TS-18 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 4 passengers and at 18,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Triton Boats 186 Allure 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
