I'm not sure why you would say that Triumph resale is "crappy". That sure won't help you sell yours when you're ready to. I don't have enough facts about the sale of used Triumphs or any other brand to make a statement like that. I do know that I sold my first Triumph 210 in a matter of a few weeks and almost got what I was asking for it and only a couple thousand less than my purchase price. I was pleased with the sale and felt the buyer got a good deal too with all the stuff I had added to the boat.

I don't know where the 'cheerleader' and 'pep squad' stuff comes from. Why would we not want to support a company in which we've all invested thousands of dollars in their products? But there is a lot of information on this website about things that Triumph needs to address and suggestions of things to improve on. I just plain disagree with the philosophy of some that think they accomplish change by being a squeaky wheel and hounding a manufacturer into submission. If the manufacturer is like me they will turn a deaf ear to that stuff. What I can't stand are whiners, complainers and "trollers" (look it up in the "Our Code" link). And thankfully I don't have to accommodate them here. I believe more is accomplished through a positive partnership, working together and with shared, mutual respect. And that is what I ask for on this site, mutual respect, for owners, dealers and Triumph Boats.
