    New Boat

    Anybody know how long it has been taking to get a new Triton? I'm sitting on 8 weeks.

    New ride came last week. For the most part I am impressed with the performance and ride. The front deck center box lid seems soft and it loudly creeks when opening and shutting. The rod locker and storage lids on the front deck warped. Never had a new boat. Are these things normal in a new Triton or should I be complaining to my dealer? They were not warped until I took it out for the day.

    What do you mean the center box is soft? Like it flexes? Probably just need to spray lubricant on the hinges for that problem and call it a day. If something is warped, I’d definitely be complaining.

    I have some flex in my front deck. I have some in one of my livewell lids as well. it's not too bad, it's not what I want to have, but i got what many call a "covid" boat. built during the pandemic. and as far as calling the dealer or triton? It hasn't worked well for me. Triton is no help. if you can even get someone the phone. the dealer can't do much other than call triton as well. and quite honestly, I don't think the dealer I bought it from really cares to put any effort in. So I live with it. most people wouldn't notice. I do, but it is what it is. I have learned to expect this kind of work on just about anything I buy post Jan 2020.

    I bought my 2020 18 TRX in January of 2020 but I am sure it was built several months earlier. So far no flex.👌
