The Triton Boats 186 Fishunter 2012 is a deep-V design and the Triton Boats 240 LTS Pro 2013 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Triton Boats 240 LTS Pro 2013 measures 24,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 5,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Triton Boats 186 Fishunter 2012 at 18,5 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Triton Boats 240 LTS Pro 2013 tips the scales at 2 450 lbs - 1 000 lbs less than the Triton Boats 186 Fishunter 2012 at 1 450 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 200 hp, the Triton Boats 240 LTS Pro 2013 has a 50-hp advantage over the Triton Boats 186 Fishunter 2012's 150-hp ceiling - enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Triton Boats 240 LTS Pro 2013 carries 79 gallons versus 31 gallons in the Triton Boats 186 Fishunter 2012. 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 240 LTS Pro 2013 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Triton Boats 186 Fishunter 2012 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Triton Boats 240 LTS Pro 2013 could be the deciding factor.
