It's not the smoothest boat in rough water (only a 17-footer), but it's pretty fast, extremely stable while fishing, good deck layout and has held up very well after being bumped against about a billion stumps. Small fit & finish components have held up very well. No issues with console switches, lids, latches, pumps/hoses, etc. Not sure what more you could really want. $3k extra cash could pay for more than a half dozen guide trips, a lot of tackle, a vacation, etc. Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. - Soren Kierkegaard

I don't know what your budget is but a lot of used cats for sale on www.basscat.com +1 Check out the Pantera Classic! Great boat, affordable, very fast.

She Ran 65-66mph with 3/4 tank of gas and full gear. Get a flippin deck for added deck room. Never had a problem with that boat. Recommend highly. That being said, never rode in a Triton!

I came out of a Ranger Z118 and that is a awesome boat in the 18' class at 18' 8". Good luck in your search!! Brian
