Could be our San Antonio BPS just sucks, which it does; but today I saw that they have 3 brand new Tritons in there. Couldn’t believe my eyes.

(As usual) It is an odd day and kind of spooky when you do find something in stock. It was the first time I’ve seen a Triton up close, they look like they’d deflect side splash waves very well. Front box looked huge, price seemed very reasonable. That rear splashwell took my by surprise, I guess it keeps the backwash off the deck. I’m starting to wonder if I saw the price correctly, it was $52-$53k, right???

I've crawled all over a bunch of new Rangers, they get better every year, most boat brands do. Nothing wrong with Nitro either.

What boat isn't made on an assembly line? We got my 1997 Triton new off the showroom floor and have been running it for 24 years. In that time, here's what I've had to do to it: One minor fiberglass gash repair - $750 One power pack - $150 One VRO pump - $600 One trolling motor foot switch (just replaced last week) - $25 One trolling motor control board - $140 Three new sets of tires - $450 each Other than that, she's been flawless.

None of those repairs are Tritons problems! Sounds like you got a good boat. The motors and other stuff bolted onto the boat can the the same on any boat.

Huge difference. Ask the long time Ranger guys, that are jumping ship, how the quality and customer service is now compared to pre-johnny All of the boats are still functional and will float, just not what they were when the original companies and employees built them
