I like Triton, and was considering buying one, but found a Skeeter instead... Only problem I have with all of this is how long it took them to make it right! They knew about it 2 years ago!

I have not heard a single word about the TRX having any issues, mine sure as hell does not, anyway I guess it could down the road so I am getting a new one, engine and all.

I think it speaks volumes about the integrity of the company. They are doing the right thing. Good for you Roger!!

Good to see a big company stand behind their product.

Ever think maybe they were attempting to handle these as warranty/repair issues on a case by case basis first? You don't typically go to defcon 1 right out of the gate and start with a total recall. It does say a lot about the brand regardless of the time frame. They're making it right and that's the bottom line.

Skeeter would have to go out of business to take care of all the stress cracks.

Tney would have to replace almost every boat they made

I bought mine from a B A S S pro, I sure am glad I went ahead and paid the 100 dollars to transfer the warranty, it probably would not have mattered anyway, if it is a safety issue they would want to take care of it for sure. I have decided to go all new, even the trailer, so i will have engine, trailer, power poles, and electronics for sale down the road. I had been looking at Ranger and was going to take a peek at Phoenix for my next rig because Triton does not have a dealer right here close, now that this has happened I am going to try Diamond Sports or Texas Boat World, not too far of a drive to either of them.

Good for Triton! Stand up response..To the OP, I don't believe you could go wrong dealing with Fred over at Diamond Sports Marine on a Triton!

Good for you HK. I own a 1997 Triton and it's been fantastic. Not surprised to see the company stand up and do the right thing to take care of the customers.
