Why am I purchasing a Triumph 210 CC? Well, there are many reasons. I wanted a boat as big as possible that would fit into my garage. With the Triumph 210 CC, if I lay the top of the center console down (toward the seats) the height issue is solved. I wanted a boat that had a GREAT ride. As we get older, comfort starts becoming more of an issue. Knees do not like to be punished the way they once were. Read what others say, or go for a test ride, the 210 should give me the best ride of any boat that this size. I wanted a boat where my wife could have a porta-potti. This was her one request, so I had better listen. The mega storage in front of the center console is so deep that she said it would work, and there is NO claustrophobia from a small enclosure in a center console. Besides, we can always install a Portable Privacy Partition from Overton’s if needed. We have a 17 year old son. This will be his first boat, so one question was would we want a fiberglass boat bouncing off docks as he learns? Or, as we get older, we will probably be the one’s hitting the dock a little harder than we should. There is a marina close to us that has a fleet of old “Logic’s” for their rental fleet. Even though their customers keep hitting docks, bridges, oyster beds, sandbars, other boats, etc., these boats just keep taking the punishment. The marina sells boats, not Triumphs, yet they still have their Roplene rental fleet. After listening to the stories from the marina’s head maintenance man about their rental fleet, we can’t imagine why anyone would want a fiberglass boat. We also wanted to be able to have time to enjoy the water. So why have to make time to polish a fiberglass boat. The Triumph has to be the easiest boat to keep clean. I may be retired, but I did not retire to spend my time polishing a boat.
We have spent the last three years studying boats and trying to determine the best boat for our family. We have determined that there is no “Perfect” boat. If there was, no one could afford it. Just as in life, every boat has pluses and minuses. Triumph can not be the one boat for everyone, but they are the boat for my family. The negative words I have heard or read about Triumphs have come from people that have not owned a Triumph. They complain that the boat does not shine, so I don’t want to polish a boat. They complain that the boat flexes, but if that gives me a better ride, then I want flex. No, I do not agree with or like everything concerning Triumph and their company policies, but I also do not expect everyone to agree with me.
You stated in your member profile that your occupation was “Internal Audit.” Keep that audit hat on and do your research. Hopefully it won’t take you three years to order your new Triumph like it did me.
