Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Triton Boats AV1667 SUV 2012 vs Triton Boats Frontier 21 T 2007: Which Modified-V Boat Fits Your Needs?
Both the Triton Boats AV1667 SUV 2012 and the Triton Boats Frontier 21 T 2007 are modified-V designs, both built in aluminium, so 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 Frontier 21 T 2007 measures 21,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 5,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Triton Boats AV1667 SUV 2012 at 16,0 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Triton Boats Frontier 21 T 2007 tips the scales at 1 280 lbs - 1 005 lbs less than the Triton Boats AV1667 SUV 2012 at 275 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 75 hp, the Triton Boats Frontier 21 T 2007 has a 55-hp advantage over the Triton Boats AV1667 SUV 2012'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 Frontier 21 T 2007 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Triton Boats AV1667 SUV 2012 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 Frontier 21 T 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Triton Boats Frontier 21 T 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 8 passengers and at 21,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Triton Boats AV1667 SUV 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 5 that costs less to run day-to-day.
