Matching a modified vee Triton Boats 202 Tiller 2010 against a deep vee Triton Boats DV 18 Magnum 2010 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 202 Tiller 2010 at 20,2 ft versus Triton Boats DV 18 Magnum 2010 at 18,5 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Triton Boats DV 18 Magnum 2010 tips the scales at 125 lbs — 104 lbs less than the Triton Boats 202 Tiller 2010 at 21 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 150 hp, the Triton Boats DV 18 Magnum 2010 has a 35-hp advantage over the Triton Boats 202 Tiller 2010's 115-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 202 Tiller 2010 carries 37 gallons versus 31 gallons in the Triton Boats DV 18 Magnum 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Both boats are rated for 6 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Triton Boats DV 18 Magnum 2010 and its 150-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Triton Boats 202 Tiller 2010 with its 115-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
