    Is it coincidence that the more well known Phoenix pros were all former Triton guys?

    Rumor is out there that Triton will be shutdown next year at some point.

    Yeah...I believe it. Been hearing this rumor since JM ended Stratos. Losing high profile pro's is a major tell and was likely leaked to G-Man by his pals at Triton. It is not like him to abandon a sponsor unless something else is in the weeds. I would keep an eye on Jacob Wheeler, I predict he might switch to Ranger like Reese did when Champ folded. This is an easy transition since Ranger is technically under the same corporate roof.

    Little more money could cause you to make a switch. If they were doing away with Triton he’d just switch to Ranger or Nitro if it didn’t have to do with money.

    Wheeler was in a Triton. Switched from Ranger to Legend then to Triton after the acquisition.

    Good thought. He is in tight with Wieda's Marine. They have Phoenix, Skeeter, Triton and now Caymas. My guess is Caymas since Wieda is the only dealer in KY. What do I know. It's fun to speculate thought.. I am a G-Man fan he is a hoot.

    Yes when Johnny Morris shut down Legend after he bought them out, Jacob Wheeler made the switch.

    It would be interesting to see what happens, Caymas is likely looking to adopt some pro's and the Wheeler/Wieda relationship just may have some credence.

    The Pro's may also get one more season with Triton as the 2020's are on the lot but rumors are just that...we really do not know for sure!

    dont understand all the worry about folks changing boats when the only real reason is money.
