I guess you are a little disappointed with Triton Boats, I have had 12 Rangers and 4 Tritons, I will stay with Triton, looks, speed, layout and the way they fish is second to none, just my opinion and I can afford any bass boat made, not bragging, just fact.quote=HappyCrappie]Ok, Triton owners. Lets forget about your Triton Gold contingency $ and your so called "Driest Ride". Lets talk about the true facts of the construction of a boat.

Everyone knows that most of the top line hulls are made strong and share the most of the same qualities. I know, waa waa waa about the dry rides bull. I have owned 2 different boats and have ridden in all of them so sell it to someone else. Bottom line, the interior of a boat takes the hardest beating by far. Let me start by telling you why I believe that triton DONT measure up with the others. After getting rid of my Ranger (mistake) I bought the Triton and it does ride nice. However, little things started happening as the months went by. 1st, the Carpet has started to come loose in 3 places (2 yrs old). 2nd, have you ever got a hook buried in that FUR they lined the rod bins with (good luck getting that lure out)? 3rd, ever take a wave over the bow and at the end of the ride home, there is still water in the lid wells (no drain holes) Duh! 4th, who's idea was it to put seats (that tear apart in less than 1 year) on a pedestal (get ready to tighten them often)? 5th, lets not forget the cooler lid fastener right in the middle of a stepping surface. These things add up to pain in the A!#@ss issues after a couple of years. I have made mistakes before but never will again with my boats. Ranger all the way. [/quote]

I hate my boat, but we won't go down that road again de

I can tell you I have fished out of just about every boat out there.I went with an ALPHA211.I am 100% sold,but im sure most on here would say the same thing about the boats they are in.I spoke to tracker Tim alot while he was having his boat built and I think he will tell you the same thing.

I would be happy just to be able to own a boat and be able to take it to the lake.

I would never down another mans boat and sure would not say anything that is not true about what I have experienced...A good friend of mine owned Champions all his life...I fished out of the last one...great boat...he bought a new 09 Triton 21' with the HP hull 250 Merc and so on...that thing scared me...at WOT you never knew what it was going to do...he was fighting it all the time...I told him he needed to drive my Skeeter i which he did...he sold the Triton 6 months after buying it and now has his own 21i....I have other friends that have older Tritons and I have rode in those with no problems but that 09 was a spooky boat...

I have a 2000 TR186. I take care of it and it still looks damn near brand new and rides great. Damn tough boat as all the little things are still holding up on it after 10 years.

I know your type you buy a boat beat the [censored] out of it and keep it outside uncovered and then you want to cry when it doesn't hold together. Take care of your boat and you will be a happy man. No boat will hold up to abuse/
