Baycoastal, I am very sorry you are having problems, any problems at all.

I guess it is all a matter of interpretation. For one, having to install a drain is an issue. To me, every boat should come with a factory-installed drain, and I do not just mean Triumph boats, I mean every boat. Water gets in every boat I have had the pleasure to become acquainted with, and I do mean every. That includes every US Navy ship I had the pleasure to serve on, including being a “Plank Owner” on one ship, and every boat I had the pleasure to have a ride on.

If the Triumph factory solves your hull crack issues, to me that is a big plus. I agree that it probably should never have happened, but if the factory steps up and works with you, then they have done more than most boat manufacturers or for that matter most other manufacturers of consumer goods in this country. Just today, on our local news, we heard about a family whose baby died in 2005, in a crib that now just being recalled. Why did it take at least 3 deaths and over two years for these cribs to be recalled?

I sincerely hope that your problems are solved and that you get many years of pleasure from your boat. I know that I am going to place our boat in my son’s name at Triumph in the hope that he can raise a family on boating after I am too old to go out by myself. He will get the lifetime warranty, and I get the pleasure of feeling better about the future of my family.

Again, good luck.
