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.

Hell I am stoked, going to get a brand new 2017 model, I am going to sell my 2014 250 Pro XS, it only has about 150 hours on it, I will end up with a brand spanking new rig for like 10 grand, I feel like I hit the lottery. 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.

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 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.
