    Triton Import to South Africa

    I owe a Triton 176 Explorer but I want to upgrade to a bigger boat. I am in the market for 18TRX size boat.

    1) Can someone explain the difference between 18TRX and 189 TRX according to Triton website both are 18'8" with 94" beam ; is the layout the same ?
    2) Is the TR-186 series discontinued ; if so when ?
    3) I want to import the hull & trailer only ; and need to get talking to a Triton dealer please can someone recommend a sales person / dealer ?
    4) As a option is it possible to purchase used Triton boat only without motor? I suppose a dealer will sell the hull & trailer without a motor.

    Thanks

    The 189 TRX and 18 TRX generally have the same layout although the Tournament Edition package has 2 independent live wells in place of a divided live well.

    The maximum h.p. rating is 175 for the 189 and 200 for the 18 even though size and weightier identical. No logical reason that I can tell.

    I do not know the answer to your other questions but believe you would be happy with either model. I chose the 18 TRX because I wanted the 4.6 liter V8 engine.
