Quality Control
Woodnfish,
When I bought my boat (170 DC) I was downsizing from A SeaHunt 186, mostly because I generally fish by myself, and it was just getting to be too big a chore for me at the boat ramp, loaded, it weighed in at around 2500#,and I'm in my 60's now with a bad knee.
I started reading about Triumph's, and at first I read about all the problems everyone was having with them and I became discouraged, reading this forum. Then I went and looked at them at a boat show, and noticed that fit and finish was not all the well done. I talked to the people selling them, and they agreed that fit & finish could be better, but convinced me to give them a try. So I entered into ownership knowing these facts.
What you say about dry storage is correct, if you want to keep anything dry, you had better put it in a plastic bag. I still don't understand why, after several years of manufacture, improvements are not being made.
I have not had many problems with mine, but I've only had it since March of his year, but it is much easier for one person to launch and retieve than my larger boat.
