When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Triton Boats 220 LTS 2011 and the Triton Boats Frontier 19 2007 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?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Triton Boats 220 LTS 2011 at 22,0 ft versus Triton Boats Frontier 19 2007 at 19,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Triton Boats Frontier 19 2007 tips the scales at 125 lbs — 102 lbs less than the Triton Boats 220 LTS 2011 at 23 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 220 LTS 2011 has a 75-hp advantage over the Triton Boats Frontier 19 2007's 75-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 220 LTS 2011 carries 66 gallons versus 24 gallons in the Triton Boats Frontier 19 2007. 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 Frontier 19 2007 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Triton Boats 220 LTS 2011 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 Frontier 19 2007 could be the deciding factor.
