Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Triton Boats 191 LTS 2008 vs Triton Boats AV1457 SUV 2012 — Which Modified Vee Fits Your Needs?
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Triton Boats 191 LTS 2008 and the Triton Boats AV1457 SUV 2012 are modified vee designs with fiberglass 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 power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 150 hp, the Triton Boats 191 LTS 2008 has a 140-hp advantage over the Triton Boats AV1457 SUV 2012's 10-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Triton Boats 191 LTS 2008 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Triton Boats AV1457 SUV 2012 caps at 4. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Triton Boats 191 LTS 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Triton Boats 191 LTS 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 19,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Triton Boats AV1457 SUV 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 4 that costs less to run day-to-day.
