Vinman,
If you're looking for a boat that could possibly last a lifetime, look no further. Think about this: most (if not all) fiberglass boats are made by laminating the glass over wood. As such, they are prone to delamination (separating glass from wood) and decay (water on wood equals rot).With a Triumph, you have no wood, only plastic. There is nothing to delaminate or rot. You only have to replace one rotten transom in a lifetime to appreciate not having to worry about it.
Don't forget the lifetime warrenty on the hull as well. If you ever needed peace of mind, that should do it. But please, look around and see for yourself. How shiny will that new glass boat look in say, ten or fifteen years? I know how my Triumph will look, just like it is today. Good luck with your search.
