It don’t look better in person. I saw the red one on grand lake last month. The console, graphics and overall shape of the boat was flat awful lookin. I’ve been a faithful triton owner since 2000. But if that’s what triton has in store for the future I don’t think I’ll be going there. I hope they at least keep today’s design around.Originally Posted by CoreyJ
Every brand will go to a wide console because everyone wants TV on their boat.
You are right. In person it is just as ugly as it was last year when they didn't release it. It can not be priced low enough to sell over a handful. You would think they learned their lesson with the Ranger they put the walleye hull under.
Overall I like this boat a lot!.
2 things that jump out for me as a "dislike" (to be fair I would have to see it in person) the access to the bilge, maybe i would like or not like the gull wing doors and the other is the extended seat bases at the floor level. I can see myself kicking or tripping on those all the time.
This boat has some looks of a jag to me.
Looks pretty good to me. I like the new consoles that hold twin 12” graphs. Looks more like an offshore console now from the drivers seat.
Thought the same. I think guys will like it after the requisite “getting used to the look” time.
I like the boat. What happened to the bbc Triton is dead prediction? I always said it made no sense for one of the best sellers out there.
EXACTLY...next thing the geeze-bags will be whining about is that it doesn't come in a gold and beige metal flake color scheme...lol
I’m sure the Karen’s on here are disappointed that Triton came out with a new boat!
It's all subjective on who thinks its ugly or not. In the end the sales numbers will be the defining vote on whether it's ugly or not. I'm betting the sales numbers will not be good.
Thing looks like a helm console on the bridge from the Original Star Trek series!
Update: I watched the video walk through on the other thread and I think the console looks better on the video than in that still picture. Might be okay once you get use to it and it grows on you, maybe.

History says different. Triton has been a top seller for many years. We’re you in the Triton is dead camp too?
Nothing you wrote has anything to do with what I said? I'm speaking of this specific model and not Triton in general. I have a Triton and could care less if they stay around or not. Makes no difference to me since I'm not brand loyal. I buy what I like when I'm in the market for buying something.
Obviously the thread is about the new model. Didn’t think that had to be made apparent this far into the thread. I think the new model will be a seller for them. More clear?
Well we disagree okay and as I stated the sales numbers will be the deciding factor on whether most people feel it is ugly or not.
I don't think it's ugly, but I don't like it either.
The overall design looks dated. Just, not right. Like, it looks like an aluminum boat made out of fiberglass.
Not for me. Wouldn't mind a ride in one though, just to see how it is.
I'm 67 and really like everything about it.Nice job WRM !
Glad to see Triton got rid of those pointy rear corner thingees and rounded the back. Only minus from me (as a DIY'er and chronic bilge diver) is the engine compartment split lids being hinged on the outside.I'm sure they are easy to open from inside the boat but not so from on the ground. Much prefer a rear hatch lid that is hinged in the rear so the lid opens back allowing full access to the bilge from inside the boat.
I think you captured what it really looks like - it does resemble a bigwater aluminum boat like a Lund or something like that. I was expecting Triton to introduce some "go-fast" boats like their older models. I'm not sure what this model has to separate it from a big Nitro or big Ranger.
That is a factual statement I’m trying to forgets the 80’s thought 60’s Retro was bad but at least the 60’s music wasn’t Disco
If also might be a good idea to wait and see if it performs. Everyone always talks about looks these days.
Wait I thought I have read on here multiple times that Triton was going away.
