Greetings from Valley Forge, Pa.
Hi Guys,
JUst picked up a 2003 170 CC yesterday and can't wait to get it in the water. I'll probably being taking it to South Jersey creeks and bays. I have 90 Yammi on the back and it seems to me like it may be a little too much for my needs but better to have than have not I guess. I'm learning as much as I can so I may have a few questions for you guys. Anybody live in the area? Thanks Frank

Hello,
Good luck with your new 170CC, I am just up the road in Limerick. I just traded up from a 2002 170DC w/70HP Yamaha to a 191FS because we need the extra room. The 170 was a great boat! Fished it lots behind OC NJ and Townsen Inlet. Thinking that thing is going to be rather quick with a 90HP hangin' off the back. You might want to try testing it out at Blue Marsh Lake located just above Reading, about 45 minutes for me. Best to get there on a weekday or weekday evening during the season to avoid the congestion. Feel free to ask away if I can be of any help!

thanks for the welcome guys. That's a good question about service. Do you have any suggestions? I looked a few boats in Pottstown at Coventry Motors but don't know anything about them.
I fish mostly out of Sea Isle and Townsends Inlet but want to try trailering along some of the creeks on the Del bay. Ever here of Maurice rive or Dividing creek? Regards, Frank

Frank,
Can I ask where you purchased your boat? The only "local" Triumph dealers I know of are, Aquatonq in NewHope, PA, Hooked on the Bay in North East, Maryland and Pier 47 in Wildwood, NJ. Clews and Strawbridge in Malvern, PA and Reading Boat Works just above Reading, PA service Yamaha engines and have good parts support. Hope this helps! You might want to try the channel just behind OC, NJ. There is a big hole about 40' deep just to the right of the Longport Bridge, often have good luck drift fishing over it.

I bought mine at conventry marine. I really don't like the guy who owns the place but go there to get what i need or order it from catalogs. I do most of my own repairs and since it is a new boat not much has gone wrong. Now any motor work i will have to take somewhere.

JGL,
I bought my boat from a guy I met on website bassbarn.com. It's my favorite fishing site of all time becasue it's local NJ. Give it a try. He in turn bought it from Aquatong in New Hope. It's funny because I almost bought a boat from them. My other bought is an Aquasport. They are one of the few dealers in the area. I haven't taken my Triumph out yet and just canceled this weekend because of the weather. It's killing me. I can't wait. Have you been out yet? it seems as though the stripers are starting to come through. Frank

KSR5,
When I was looking at Coventry the guys were nice. It just seemed they were all over the place from landscaping trailers to 4x4's and PWC's. Your boat must fly......... Frank

On a calm day i can get about 42mph out of it with me and my son thats plenty fast enough on the water. What i think i need is trim tabs to get the bow down the motor trim doesn't do it i hammer pretty hard in the chop of the bay.

ksr5, I was under the impression that in '03 they down graded the hp rating for that hull to 70 hp. When I bought mine in '02 the folks at Merritt indicated the boat would "chine walk" with a 90 hp. I test drove and purchased a 70 hp Yami. What's the yellow tag on the starboard side say your hp rating is? Did you have any issues getting insurance? I'm happy with the 70 but I bet that 90 will fly.
