Before you get too down on another manufacturer I would make sure you know what you are talking about. I have been out in some of the worst conditions around in trophy boats and they have held up just fine. They have come through some their earlier problems and actually build a solid boat now. They really don't still have a bad reputation, that is mostly from ignorance and people who refuse to stay current on boats and building trends. Trophy is actually starting offer a diesel in some of their boats also.
Someone posted about the trophy being a wet boat, they do tend to have a sneeze, but overall not too bad. I do really like the reverse chine of the 215cc to keep a nice dry ride, but when conditions are windy and rough both boats are going to be wet rides unless you have curtains or a full Eisenglass or something to that effect. The nicest thing about the triumph is how soft and smooth the ride is. Even in rough seas the boat does no slap. The hull is designed to be forgiving, and the roplene flexes to absorb shock. The combo seems to work well.
