2002 170 sportsman

Hello everyone! I am new to boating; I retired and live on Long Island NY and have a house on the ocean in Maine. I am looking at buying a 2002 Triumph Sportsman 170 with a 50 hp honda engine. The owner says it is an open boat that he used for fishing ( I am going to look at it toomorrow; I want the boat to use with the grandkids; 12 kids from 4 yrs to 17yrs), to go out fishing and tour the islands. Safety is my primary concern, hence, an "unsinkable" Triumph. The bubba test convincecd me!!!

Does this model have a bench seat? If not can one be added? What kind of cover can I get to keep out of the sun? Approx cost?

Any and all info you can give me about the boat in general is appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not sure about the Sportsman model as far a seating. You can always add seating...try www.boatersworld.com or www.westmarine.com for options. For sun protection, most folks go with a bimini top. You can fold it flat for trailering and pop it up when you launch. Very handy. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the information; I just finalized the purchase of the boat today; I have to register it and get plates for the trailer; it has 1 bench seat and I want to add another. I'll check Boaters world and West Marine.

Congrats on your 'new boat'. Post some photos when you get in the second seat so we can see what it looks like.

Will do; I contacted Dick at Merritt marine and he told me to measure where I want to put it and he would have it cut and sent.
