tctighman, if you're looking for a perfect finish on a boat then maybe the Triumph line isn't for you. On the other hand if you're looking for a durable boat which should last a lifetime then you're on the right track. I went with Triumph for it's durability, warranty and style. I feel I'll keep my 170CC for a long time. Although it'd be nice to address the two foot itus I just want to be able to get on the water at my convienience. Given what I paid for the boat it can sit in the yard and when the notion to take a boat ride strikes I have the means. As far as appearance, find a dealer with several in stock and pick your hull. Some are better than others. At one time they were selling seconds that had imperfections in the finish but were still viable as a means of transportation. Make sure no one's trying to sell you one as a first. The 170s were one of the first hulls they made I think, as they added larger models I think there were some issues with "wavyness" in those hulls but at this point I think those issues have been resolved. You're at the right place for research. Ask away. Everbody here has come to terms with any issues you may have and for the most part justified them considering the other benefits of the boat. Good luck in your search. I know for me after weighing the options plastic was the way to go. As happy then as I am now.
