Triton Boats 2070 SC 2009 vs Triton Boats DV 17 Magnum 2009: Same Brand, Different Boat

The Triton Boats 2070 SC 2009 is a modified-V design and the Triton Boats DV 17 Magnum 2009 is a deep-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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Triton Boats 2070 SC 2009 at 20,0 ft versus Triton Boats DV 17 Magnum 2009 at 17,0 ft. At 1 125 lbs and 1 100 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 2070 SC 2009 and 125 hp for the Triton Boats DV 17 Magnum 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.

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: The Triton Boats 2070 SC 2009 at 20,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Triton Boats DV 17 Magnum 2009 at 17,0 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking - a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.

Triton Boats 2070 SC 2009 vs Triton Boats DV 17 Magnum 2009 - Common Questions

Which is the larger boat - the Triton Boats 2070 SC 2009 or the Triton Boats DV 17 Magnum 2009?
The Triton Boats 2070 SC 2009 is the longer of the two at 20,0 feet overall. The Triton Boats DV 17 Magnum 2009 comes in at 17,0 feet, making it roughly 3,0 ft shorter - a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer - the Triton Boats 2070 SC 2009 or the Triton Boats DV 17 Magnum 2009?
For trailering, the Triton Boats DV 17 Magnum 2009 has the edge at 1 100 lbs dry weight versus 1 125 lbs for the Triton Boats 2070 SC 2009. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?
The Triton Boats DV 17 Magnum 2009 is rated to a maximum of 125 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Triton Boats 2070 SC 2009 tops out at 115 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that - matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Triton Boats 2070 SC 2009 is Coast Guard rated for 6 passengers, while the Triton Boats DV 17 Magnum 2009 is certified for 6. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing - on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Triton Boats 2070 SC 2009 measures 96" wide, compared to 95" for the Triton Boats DV 17 Magnum 2009. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states - anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Are the Triton Boats 2070 SC 2009 and Triton Boats DV 17 Magnum 2009 from the same manufacturer?
Yes - both the Triton Boats 2070 SC 2009 and the Triton Boats DV 17 Magnum 2009 are built by Triton Boats. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
