There is also an enormous difference in how I view my boat and how others view theirs. Gaging the sheer number of posts some people put up at THT, it is apparent that those fellas are focused on their boats to a much greater degree than I am on mine. I paid < $15K for my rig (cash). These folks often pay in excess of $100K, and one day, their kids will take on the loan. So there is a lot riding on what people say and see in regards to 'boats'. I fish, they 'hang-out' 50 miles offshore. I don't wax, neither do they because someone else does it for them - but it must be done. So my ending remarks in the referred to thread were really getting at less - the difference between plastic and glass, but rather, being able to elevate my fishing from the jetty to from a capable boat. Triumph has allowed people like me to enjoy sensible boating.
The only other way to put it is… I drive a Ford and my boat is made in North Carolina (please ignore the Honda in the back).
