Matching a deep vee Triton Boats DV 16 2009 against a modified vee Triton Boats VT 19 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Triton Boats DV 16 2009 at 16,0 ft versus Triton Boats VT 19 2010 at 19,0 ft.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 90 hp for the Triton Boats DV 16 2009 and 75 hp for the Triton Boats VT 19 2010. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Triton Boats VT 19 2010 carries 22 gallons versus 17 gallons in the Triton Boats DV 16 2009.
