Matching a modified vee Triton Boats 21HP 2012 against a deep vee Triton Boats VX167 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Triton Boats 21HP 2012 measures 21,0 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 4,4 additional feet of deck space compared to the Triton Boats VX167 2010 at 16,6 feet (2010).
