Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Triumph Boats 170 CC 2013 vs Triumph Boats 215 CC 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Triumph Boats 170 CC 2013 vs Triumph Boats 215 CC 2008 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 Triumph Boats 215 CC 2008 measures 22,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 5,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Triumph Boats 170 CC 2013 at 16,8 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Triumph Boats 170 CC 2013 tips the scales at 1 357 lbs — 1 334 lbs more than the Triumph Boats 215 CC 2008 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 200 hp, the Triumph Boats 215 CC 2008 has a 125-hp advantage over the Triumph Boats 170 CC 2013'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 Triumph Boats 170 CC 2013 carries 14 gallons versus 7 gallons in the Triumph Boats 215 CC 2008. 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 Triumph Boats 170 CC 2013 is rated for 6 passengers, while the Triumph Boats 215 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 Triumph Boats 170 CC 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Triumph Boats 170 CC 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 6 passengers and at 16,8 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Triumph Boats 215 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.
