One of the purposes of any owner's club is to vent, the others are to share information, learn and make friends.

It is not the purpose of this site to provide a place for folks to "vent". Go to a health club, roll down the window or get a punching bag to vent, but please don't do it here. We are not therapists nor are we factory reps. (I'm serious but in a joking way.
)
I would agree with you on the later part of your statement though that the purpose of this site is to share information, modifications, and to learn and make friends in a positive and productive environment. It has been my desire that this website provide a collaborative environment for Triumph owners, dealers and folks from the Triumph factory. This is an owners site but as owners we benefit from a collaborative and amiable relationship with our dealers and with the factory. Working together we all win. Singling out dealers and Triumph to vent on does not benefit anyone. It is okay to point out issues that need a dealer or factory solution, but not to slam or point fingers at anyone or any company. I think the responses that you received from our membership reflect the collaborative environment that we have here.
I am in the process of buying my second Triumph, a 2006 215 Chaos. When I sold my 2003 210 I provided the buyer with the "Limited Lifetime Warranty" agreement located in the Triumph manual. I also informed him of the $300 lifetime warranty transfer fee. I checked with the factory and on boats prior to 2006 the warranty transfer fees are as follows:

17' and smaller boats transfer fee $200
19' and larger boats transfer fee $300

Here is a portion of what is written in the written warranty:

The remaining warranty term may be transferred once to a second owner if the transfer occurs within the first five years of the warranty. A written request for warranty transfer must be made within 15 days of resale and accompanied by proof of purchase and applicable payment to TRIUMPH BOATS.

If you had been purchasing from a Triumph dealer they could have told you that. If you were purchasing directly from Mr. X he should have told you that. And if that non-Triumph dealer was going to tout a transferrable warranty I believe they should have researched the details of it for you.
On a personal note I agree with Fridaysoff, Triumph gave you a solution. Get it notarized and send it in with your warranty transfer fee. And if you do purchase the Triumph I hope you'll join us here often. This is a great bunch of folks that are more than willing to share information and I think many friends have been made here. I hope all go smoothly for you on the boat purchase from this point on.
