I know there’s constant rumor that they’re going away but I saw this on their social media feed. Looks like they have a new model coming. I guess that can squash those rumors.

LE-195/bassbowman/current username will not be happy with this news.

the folks that have been saying triton was not going to be around had no knowledge of what they were talking about wrmg didnt give a small fortune away just to put a boat co out of business that didnt build enough boats to be a major player in the boat building world.

They rearranged the letters!

They had a few sneak pics on BBC a while back. That thing was ugly as all get out, if it's the same boat

Actually the boat itself looked great but that square console looked like an afterthought

I'm a Triton owner and seen a few pics of it. They are all got that Nitro feeling to them now and im not knocking anybody who has a nitro or etc. Just saying there making them look the same and I dont get it.

I'm still rolling with my 1997 Triton. I plan on keeping it another 24 years.

Quite a few differences IMO. A triton is still a triton, very nice boats IMO. I looked at them hard but couldn't justify the expense.

likewise in my '99, she's been a great boat

New ones are not the same as those boats that are a decade(or two) old....when Earl Bentz “built” them. Not saying there’s anything wrong w/a new Triton but it’s apples to oranges to compare new to “old”.

There was nothing special about ol' Earls boat building. Never understood the loyal following of a businessman who's only intent is to flip companies he starts.

The new ones are nicer, every brand built today is nicer than it was 10 years ago.

Likewise in my 2001.

2004 TR 21X Been a fantastic fishing machine. Yes a new boat would be great with latest equipment but not willing to spend that kind of money when this one is very suitable with a few minor upgrades over the years.

I love my '98 TR21 .......and its all I can afford!

There are a few things that came from Ranger. The seats are ten times better.

That's called a re-badged Z21

He did with Legend!

Not to be argumentative but Triton was selling 10X the boats as Legend even at Legend's peak. I am a former Legend owner as well. Bought a new Alpha 211/Yam 250 SHO in 2012. Great boat. BPS bought Legend so they would have a new facility. Legend never sold enough units to be a serious contender to Ranger, Triton or Nitro.

I looked over some new Tritons at mu local BPS. Seats look nice but they felt a little hard. Are they using the same livewells as the NItros now?

I did not care for the plastic up front. It felt thin and cheap. Overall they look nice and have some good features. I think they look at step above the Nitros and they put a 225 on a 19' boat.

They seem to have quite a few new models in the smaller boats. If I was looking for an 18ft boat I would certainly give them a look.

On top of that, I think people forget to think outside their bass boat world. Triton builds a whole host of other type of very popular boats that most people that were spouting the demise of Triton didn’t give much thought into.

And legend was 10x the boat triton was. IMO at least. But ol Johhny cares only about volume. Just business I guess.

On par or maybe a little better at best and nor near enough volume going out the door to be sustainable

I was in both same year models, its all opinion but I though Legend was a much much better boat. Legend customer service had that Champion in its prime feel.

Apparently you have not seen the Caymas. Awesome boat by Earl B. so you have no idea what you are talking about. There are a ton of businesses that are started up only to have someone offer you a great deal to buy you out do you do. Good business sense. Thats how it works.

And when he sells this one people will be crying the same tune..... Oh they just ain't the same.

Exactly. The new owner always wants to change something so it will never be the same. What do you not get?????????

I think you're the one not getting it. Nothing wrong with Earls boats at all. Just funny that soon as he sells one people suddenly think over night all the boats manufactured after the sale are junk when it fact their the same as they were before the sale. Same crying tune when he left Hydra-Sport for Stratos then when he left them for Triton. Soon as he sold Triton to Ol; Johnny everyone said they were junk. Cracks me up.

I think Triton are great boats, have had several, do you think it is possible that Ole Johnny is not building them the same as Ole Earl did ? Is Ole Johnny building Rangers the same as Ole Forrest ? From what I have seen the Caymas is a really good boat, think I may have me one of them soon.

From what I was told at the WRMG Owners Tournament colloquially known as the "US Open"...

Bass Pro Shops will be carrying Triton and Nitro
Cabelas will be carrying Ranger and Nitro

Caymas will be awesome until he decides to sell it like every other boat company he's started, fool me once...

I spoke with a good friend of Earl's, he told me he did not see Earl ever selling Caymas, I guess some day it could be sold, Earl is no spring chicken, even if he did sell it, as long as it was to a reputable company i do not see where it would matter.
