Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Triton Boats 2690 CC 2008 vs Triton Boats TS-17 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Triton Boats 2690 CC 2008 against a modified vee Triton Boats TS-17 2011 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.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 450 hp, the Triton Boats 2690 CC 2008 has a 400-hp advantage over the Triton Boats TS-17 2011's 50-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 2690 CC 2008 carries 204 gallons versus 19 gallons in the Triton Boats TS-17 2011. 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 TS-17 2011 is rated for 4 passengers, while the Triton Boats 2690 CC 2008 caps at 1. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Triton Boats TS-17 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Triton Boats TS-17 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 4 passengers and at 17,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Triton Boats 2690 CC 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 1 that costs less to run day-to-day.
