Hi all,
I'm not a Triumph owner yet, but I have a 195 DC on order and it should be delivered in a couple of weeks (fingers crossed). I've been doing a lot of research on this site and others. I am a first time boat buyer and this of course is a big decision and I want to make the right one.
I went to the Cedar Point Boat Show yesterday in Sandusky, OH and had the opportunity to talk with a Triumph Factory Rep. I hit him with as much of the negatives that I could find on the website and was satisfied with the answers that he gave in conjunction with the support of dealership where I'll make the purchase. I was comforted by the fact that the 195 DC's hull was a redesign with the lessons learned factored in.
There were a lot of new and used boats at the show, and I'm sure I could have found something for less, but I'm sold on the hull material and the clean look of the boat.
The boat will have every option available except for the Ski Tow Pylon and the Port Side Storage (wish now that I ordered this). I'm having a Garmin fishfinder/GPS, Uniden VHF radio and a compass installed. I think I also have the dealer set me up with an extra battery setup.
Just can't wait to take delivery.
