I visited your Silverton Owners Club and the Silverton web sites, just so I could try to see and approach things from your point of view.

Based on the Silverton site, that is one fine boat manufacturer. I like their designs and the look of their product. I am just fortunate that our home has a few of the features that are displayed on these boats (the kitchen).

You have stated some of my core beliefs and desires for this Triumph web site. We have always stated that we want dealers and Triumph employees to visit and comment on postings. All we ask is that they identify themselves as such. Our problem is convincing dealers to mention this site to potential customers. I think us owners got a black eye and a bad reputation when the former owners site, in my opinion, went down hill fast. We work hard at keeping this a family friendly site and a site with a positive attitude to help our brother boat owners. In that the boat builder or dealers do not control this site, Randy started the Captain's Club as a way for those of us that benefit from this site can contribute to its financial health instead of asking Randy to bear all of the cost personally.

In honesty, if I had not spent years learning about various manufacturers and Triumph boats, I would probably not know about that transfer fee. Unfortunately, there are many things we discover in this life that are not disclosed, or if they were disclosed, they were not as clear as they could have been.

We wish you well with your new purchase. My wife and I really like our Triumph. Yes, if we could afford it, I am sure she would like to own a Silverton.
