When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Triton Boats 20XS SC 2010 and the Triton Boats 240 LTS Pro 2013 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?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Triton Boats 240 LTS Pro 2013 measures 24,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 3,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Triton Boats 20XS SC 2010 at 20,8 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Triton Boats 20XS SC 2010 tips the scales at 1 926 lbs — 1 681 lbs more than the Triton Boats 240 LTS Pro 2013 at 245 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 25-hp advantage over the Triton Boats 20XS SC 2010's 175-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 53 gallons in the Triton Boats 20XS SC 2010. 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 20XS SC 2010 is rated for 650 passengers, while the Triton Boats 240 LTS Pro 2013 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Triton Boats 20XS SC 2010 could be the deciding factor.
