Hello Everyone

Just found this site while trying to find a boat cover for the 210 cc. Boat has been in dry storage since 2002 when my husband passed. I live on Lake Texoma and plan to put the boat in a wet slip and start using it. Anyone have any suggestions for me? I am considering the foal paint on the bottom. Is this a good idea?

Welcome aboard T E,
It's a good idea to paint the bottom of your boat when you leave it in salt water but I don't think it is needed for fresh. You may want to check with other boat owners or marina's in your area if there is alot of growth or vegetation in the lake to see if bottom paint is needed. Try to avoid painting if at all possible, it's pain-staking, messy and expensive. Usually it is an easy clean-up when you haul the boat out of fresh water at the end of the season, a little bleach and a pressure washer usually does it. I hope this helps and best of luck.

Welcome to the site TE. Sorry for your loss but sounds like you husband made some good choices.
Painting isen't a bad choice. Check with other boat owners and see how much of a problem marine grouth is on your lake.
Probley the best thing to do is pull the boat out every other week and clean the hull. I don't think that you need to paint the bottom if Lake Texmoa a is fresh water leak. Even if it's not, painting the bottom of a Triumph isen't easy and not cheep to do. Normaly a good cleaning every two weeks will keep the algae grouth in check.
Good luck and let us know how things work out. You found the best place to find out info about your boat right here. Lot of help from a lot of good people. Bob.
