    Thumbs Up Lovin my Triton 18tx

    I have had mine since April and been out at least once a week. The 115 Pro xs 4 stroke command thrust sips the gas and this boat fishes big! My son Is 13 at 5'11" 230 and I am 6 ft 265 and this is a stable fishin machine. We have boated some good ones on this thing! I came from an older glasstream fish and ski to this aluminum rig and grew up on fiberglass bass boats. I was a little worried about how this aluminum boat would ride and fish.. I don't regret my purchase one bit. I just thought I would share in case there are some guys on the fence with an older glass boat looking to upgrade to a newer one and wrestling with going aluminum.

    Thanks and good fishing

    I picked up one a couple weeks ago. Real good boat with a lot of room. I have started the install of the electronics now. Should be back on the water in a couple days. Runs 43.3 mph with two men and a live well full of crappie. Running a 21 pitch prop. Great hole shot.

    When you spend more time in it, you will like it more and more, especially if you fish a lot of shallow water. It is unbelievable how shallow these boats float, both the Ranger and Triton and how stable they are when people move around.

    I have a 2016 that I love. It has a suzuki 115 SS motor. All aluminum trailer and completely decked out. I want to step up to a bigger glass boat. Any interested buyers out there? The boat is immaculate and has always been garage kept under a cover.
