    TR186 Stress Cracks

    2001 Triton TR186....lots and lots and lots of stress cracks in the top. They look to be purely cosmetic....are they?

    Looking at purchasing this boat. Boat and trailer are in excellent shape, otherwise. 2000 150 Yamaha.

    Opinions?

    We cannot see them so it's hard to tell. Try posting some pictures.

    ^ Above.

    I have a Tr-186 and love it. I'm 70 so it's probably the last bass boat I'll own.

    I did not include a picture because I can't get it to accept the upload. I'm not doing something right.

    We are 55-56, but this boat seems so solid, hoping it is our "last."

    Thank you for your input.

    We purchased the Triton and spent 2 days on the lake this past weekend. We could not ask for a better performing boat/motor. It "fits" our needs, perfectly, cracks and all. Thank you for the input.

    I've got it on mine as well. Doesn't hurt a thing! I was nervous too when buying mine. Glad I did though, I love it
