Rebuttal
I suppose this SKA fishing is a big thing in the southeast, but the reality of fishing for most of us is we are out there for fun, not profit. I don't care what the SKA guys run, I will buy Suzuki on my next boat if the dealer carries them.
To judge the new 235 based on SKA needs or desires is not the standard we should be using. Triumph will always sell to guys who desire more fishing time than polishing and more toughness around the docks. If Triumph built this boat just for the SKA fishing, then they have "missed the boat".
I have owned a large twin engine boat. The maintenance costs are double what they are for a single. No getting around that. This is more of a personal preference issue. There are definite advantages to twins, including manuverability around docks and ramps. All the usual arguements for and against are every where you look in the boating world. Yes, I do wish the 235 could handle twins, but I will not ignore the boat just because it can't.
My bottom line to all the negativity being generated is, how about waiting until the boat is really OUT so we can all look and test and report with certainty on what we like and dislike. I see positives all over this new boat over the 210 I currently own.
Who knows how long us left coasters will have to wait to see a production model. I for one will be seriously looking at them when that happens. Look for the ad on my 210.
