Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Triton Boats 240LTS 2005 vs Triton Boats AV167W SUV 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Triton Boats 240LTS 2005 vs Triton Boats AV167W SUV 2011 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Triton Boats 240LTS 2005 measures 24,0 feet overall (2005), giving it roughly 8,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Triton Boats AV167W SUV 2011 at 16,0 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Triton Boats 240LTS 2005 tips the scales at 245 lbs — 201 lbs more than the Triton Boats AV167W SUV 2011 at 44 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 250 hp, the Triton Boats 240LTS 2005 has a 230-hp advantage over the Triton Boats AV167W SUV 2011's 20-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Triton Boats 240LTS 2005 is rated for 7 passengers, while the Triton Boats AV167W SUV 2011 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Triton Boats 240LTS 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Triton Boats 240LTS 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 7 passengers and at 24,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Triton Boats AV167W SUV 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
