Deck Condition - Normal?

[Gearyg]

Hello, I was told by a disgruntled Triumph owner that his bow Droops 2" below the Keel. However, I have a 210 and it looks like my bow (if I am speaking correctly, the V-portion) has always looked like it dips down about 2" below the Keel (again, if I am speaking correctly, the bottom of the boat) Can anyone tell me if this is normal?...I would appreciate any input....thanks.

How about posting a picture......you know what they say a picture is worth a thousand words.

It is part of the hull design. You can see it on the new 215's on the Triumph website. I wasn't sure if I liked it at first but it makes running easier when on plane.

Hello, I already posted in the 210 section regarding a drooping bow (so I am told) but did not upload any pics. On my 210, 2003, after looking on the deck...see pics, is this normal or is it a result of the deck buckling due to the bow drooping and I need to get it fixed....any input is appreciated.....

I too have an 03 210 cc. The condition you describe is normal the bow is made that way. The pics you showed of your deck also look just like mine. It is a normal condition of molding the plastic. thouigh mine is cleaner kidding.
By the way you appear to have 02 pads on your 03 boat. (the red piping )
your pictures look quite normal to me..

Standard Triumph fit and finish, it's normal. Looks horrible, but normal.
