To be honest, dont think testing this boat, for the 200 hours they plan, in the Gulf of Mexico will work. The boat needs to be in North Carolina and run to Big Rock everyday no matter the conditions. The "overall feeling" is management is rushing the boat to production-release for early spring. 200 hours in the Atlantic off N.C. coast is vastly different than running the the mid-west gulf coast and Fl east coast, N.C. would be a preferable litmus test. The boat is going to be a tough sell amongst experienced offshore fisherman that know what they're looking for in a offshore boat. A single motor option only is a concern, especially with the competition the 23 market offers where most boats are twin "option" type set-up's, especially when it comes to SKA. Triumph is going to have to compete with Scout, Contender, Donzi, Wellcraft, Hydra-Sport, McKee, MayCraft.. we'll have to see how this pans out.
