were these hulls called vortex hulls??and where these some of the faster hull models made?? Just wondering as i thought i have read that some where but can't remember where..They changed the tr hulls also to something else in 2001 right
just trying to educate myself http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
Triton still has the vortex hull for most of their line.
so even the news still use the same hull only wider and bigger?? So it is a vortex hull
I believe the Vortex Hull design mainly refers to the pad area and the transition to the pad area. There have probably been a few tweeks to it here and there over the years, but I believe the concept is still roughly the same on most of the Triton Hulls.
'99 Hulls were pretty fast in my opinion. The biggest complaint I remember in those days was that they were a beast to handle the chine walk. I had a '99 TR-18 that would chine really bad until I learned how to drive it. I can honestly say that I haven't had any trouble driving a Triton (either mine or someone elses) since I learned how to drive that '99 TR-18.
Although they were fast hulls, in future years, Triton increased the Horse Power Limitation on the new models which to me helped compensate for any loss in speed of the new hulls...for instance, I think the '99 TR-19 was only rated for a 175 HP whereas in 2001 I think they may have gone to 200 HP.
I have a 2002 it has a 200hp
isn't the 2001 tr19 longer and wider then the eariler models which is why they went to the 200 rating?

I believe it was...there's a standard calculation that's used to determine max horsepower, and I believe the tweeks they made to the hull in 2001 allowed them to move up in Horsepower on all models. I think the TR-18 actually became the TR-186 around that time.
thats make since
