I wonder how much Triton boat seats will cost me? I have a 2004 Triton 186 SC and would like to know if someone could give me a ballpark figure for new passenger, middle and driver seats? I know I have to get in touch with a Dealer... but just thought I'd ask here.
Is $17,500 a good deal for a 2009 Triton 17 Explorer bass boat? I have found a Triton bass boat with a 90 hp mercury optimax mercury that is a 2009 that was won in a bass tournament but has never been used the prop hasn't even been put on it yet could somebody tell me if this is a really good deal?
How much should I offer on a BOAT that is a 2009 Triton 188SF? Suggested Retail PRICE; 34,940.00 Dealers Price: 28,995.00. Dealer did go down to 24,995.00. Motor: Mercury 150hp EFI. Is this a good price?
Nationalities of Those Who Died on Triton on June 2, 1942? I would like to know the nationalities of the six passengers who died on Triton, hit by u-boat U-558 on June 2, 1942
Why are boat prices in places like Florida and California so much less than in Kansas / Oklahoma area? I have looked at a lot of fish/ski boats to buy and there is a huge difference in price for similar units. Example: I found a 2004 Triton Bass boat for $2000 in Miami, FL and a similar boat in Oklahoma City costs $14,000! That's a huge difference! I'm guessing it has something to do with being around saltwater?

I have a question about the towing capacity of my truck because I am wanting to buy a boat? I am considering buying a Triton Bass boat but I am concerned I will not be able to tow it with my small truck. I have a 1995 Nissan Pickup Truck. It is a straight drive 4 X 4 and is only a 4 Cyl.. My main concern is backing down a boat ramp and not being able to pull my boat back up out of there. Not to mention I live in WV and there are no shortage of hills in this area. The boat is 19' long and the Hull weight alone is 1650 lbs. I figure by the time I add fuel, an engine, and my gear it will be right at 2000 lbs. I currently have a boat and trailer that weighs around 600 lbs and I can't even tell I'm pulling anything when I'm hooked to it. Can I tow this 2000 lb boat up a ramp though?

Who here fishes out of a boat? Don't care if it is a inflatable raft, to a cabin cruiser. Just wondering who fishes out of a boat. Mine is a '04 Triton powered by a 200 Optimax Have had my rig in as little as 1.5 ft of water. I am also looking to buy a john boat for a couple of the local rivers around here. Stop I hear you and agree 100 % This is my 6th and final boat, and was a retirement present from my wife.
hull speed and weight of sailboats? by the way, thanks for answering my questions. My question is this. If a boat length has a finite hull speed, then how much should weight really factor into a boat decision. I am using this argument in my head to justify a 7000 pound 28' pearson Triton.

WHAT is more important to a BASS ANGLER: A name-brand boat, or his fishing skills? Would you rather own a "Ranger", "Skeeter", or "Triton"? Or own a "Stratus" or "Alumacraft", "Lund" ; AND have great fishing skills? Do you think the fish you catch know the difference between a "Ranger" boat and a "Lund" boat? Isn't perhaps your GEAR(rods, reels, electronic's, ETC), even more important than owning a "top of the line" name-brand boat? I currently own 2 boats(flats:"Carolina Skiff" & bass:"Lund") and have won quite a few tourneys in them. In the tourneys i've participated in, the "Ranger", Stratus", "Skeeter", "Triton", "Nitro", guys lose & win with the same regularity that people with off-brands do. It would seem that some believe the amount you paid for your boat equals your skills as an angler. Whats your take on the subject? good fish'n!
What's the name of this movie? It's a 21st century movie that made it into theaters and that's kind of like titanic. These people go on a fancy boat ride when all of a sudden, some giant wave hits them. It's supposed to be some kind of tsunami in the middle of the ocean, or something like that and there's talk about Triton. Anyways, they're basically trying to survive after the boats been screwed. Sorry that the description is so vague, but please help! It's not about sharks, just about some abnormal wave that strikes them in the middle of the ocean, and it's a fancy boat with a lot of voyagers that they thought could withstand anything THANKS GUYS!! That's exactly the movie I was talking about!! ^^
IS TIS A GOOD STORY SO FAR? CAN YOU THINK OF AN END? It was a beautiful sunny day and Emily, her mum Abby and her dad Charlie were sitting on the beach building a sandcastle. “Oh, I do love these magnificent days! Remarked Abby. You should go for a swim Emily” “Ok!” Emily happily shrieked. Emily shot as fast as lightning to the sea and boisterously jumped in! Emily was having a great time until a storm came along. A melancholy look swept across her face. Suddenly, her legs started sticking together like a mermaids and it was as if the sea was pulling her in! Once she was pulled down to the bottom she observed her surroundings. She noticed many sinister, sunken boats. Emily curiously but vigilantly peeped in when unexpectedly someone tapped on her back! It was a mermaid! “Arrrgh! Who are you?” Emily anxiously questioned. “My name is Shona Windsnap!” she answered. “ That is weird, my name is Emily windsnap!” she said shockingly. Shona realised that Emily must be her long lost sister! They couldn’t believe it! She pulled Emily hurriedly to her mother and father’s kingdom and she explained what had happened. “Why hello! I am King Triton your real father and this is your real mother Ursula. I am afraid Charlie and Abby are not your parents; they kidnapped you because they are my worst enemy” explained King Triton.

How can I move a boat dock that is now on land? A cable snapped on my boat dock and the dock is now completely on land. Due to a heavy drought, I have not attempted to fix it in many years. My thoughts were to disconnect the catwalk, use a heavy duty jack, mount triton rollers on all four corners, and place some boards underneath the rollers leading all the way to the water, and then push (with 6-8 friends) and pull with a four wheeler I own. Any ideas? I spoke with a boat dock mover and he estimated it would cost $2k for him to get it back in the water so I would like to avoid that.
on the little mermaid, how did Eric get changed out of his uniform into old clothes that fast? near the end when Ursula changed back and Ariel turned back into a mermaid, Eric has a uniform on. Yet immediately after the scene with Ursula/Trition/Ariel, Eric is shown in a row boat with his old attire on, as if he had changed that fast even in spite of everything that had just happened. Also, the scene takes place as the sun is setting, meaning that it is about to be night, yet when Eric washes upon the shore at the end it is still bright, and it is in fact later on shown to be "morning" (when they have the wedding) even though the sun just set! How? And when Ariel got onto the boat to stall the weding she had shoes on, yet when the shell containing her "voice" broke she was barefooted. How? And how did Eric have boots on when he went to rescue Ariel, yet not have them on when he washes upon shore? Also, if you notice Ursula is holding Ariel's right arm as she moves through the water, yet when talking to Triton she is somehow suddenly holding her left arm. also, fish are not capable of closing their eyes (which is why dead fish always have their eyes open). So how was flounder closing his eyes?
2007 F-150 hauling/towing questions any opinion helps? Hi, I have an 07 F150 XL reg cab 6.5' box 2wd with the 4.6 triton V-8. I intend to use this truck to haul my 8' alaskan pop up camper (1100lbs) and tow my 14' fiberglass fishing boat. My door sticker says the payload for the truck is 1928 lbs (has the heavier 6600lb gvwr). My question is, does anyone know how the truck will perform with this much weight on/behind it? I didn't get the bigger 5.4 engine because of the great price on this one, but I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this engine hauling and towing. I know it pulls the boat with no problems, but have not put the camper on it yet. The truck is completely stock. Will I need anything to improve performance or should it be adequate as it is? I will be hauling 400-600 lbs worth of people and probably less than 100 lbs of gear (no water). I know it won't be fast, and may have a hard time with hills etc... Any input helps. I don't think the motor will have any problems with the load. It is rated for much more weight than that in other applications, I'm worried about the rest of the truck (brakes, suspension, etc..)
What truck is better Dodge Ram 1500, GM 1500 or the F150? I'm 17 years old and i want to get a truck. In all 3 companies i like the 1990s body styles better. What i am asking is, which of these trucks have the best durability On/off road, easiest to work on in your home garage, semi-cheap to fix and upgrade (add dual exhaust and other stuff), most torque. Pretty much best bang for your buck. I know Fords are cheaper to buy than Chevy/GMC trucks. Dodge transmissions go out faster. My dad has had all 3 companies in several different years they were made. 1990 GMC Seiara 4x4 Ext. Cab 6.5' box, 350 V8. Had 212,000 miles when he got rid of it. Transmission was shot and the 4x4 transfer case was going out. Floor shift 4x4. 1976 Dodge D100. 318 V8. 4 speed manual transmission. 2 wheel drive. Floor was replaced by stop signs due to the floor rusted out. 1999 Ford F150. 5.4L Triton V8. Automatic. Has the quick change 4x4 knob on dash. Ext. cab 8' box. Has 200k miles. Best it got was almost 19mpg towing a Fiberglass bass boat. Had to replace 3 fuel pumps. Head gasket has a leak. Pain to work on. What i am trying to do is get a Truck from one of the "Big Three" American companies. Which of them is the better truck. Looking for a 4x4 6' box (or 6.5') Ext. Cab. V8. Automatic transmission. Floor Shift 4x4. Which company has the better truck with these options?
Looking into a new Ford truck? Im a die hard Ford guy and thats all i ever will and ever have drove first off ha so dont try to reccomend anything other than a Ford. Anyways I currently have a 4.6 v8 97 f150 but in the future would like something with a little more hp due to pulling a large boat fairly often and just for the hell of it. I love the Lightnings but they're a little hard to find and the ones i have found have had more miles than i prefer. Surprisingly I've never drove a 5.4 litre v8 so is there really much of a difference between the 4.6 and 5.4 Tritons?
Do you think the sentence on Yvonne Peabody and her business will send a message to illegal employers? Her small business was fined $6.8 million dollars and she has to serve 3 months in prison and then home confinement. A family owned commercial fishing business in Virginia and two of its owners paid $6.8 million in fines and forfeitures after pleading guilty to hiring 126 illegal aliens to work on their boats. The charge is a misdemeanor and federal prosecutors had recommended home confinement in addition to the monetary penalties, but U.S. District Judge Raymond A. Jackson sentenced Yvonne Michelle Peabody, the company’s vice president, to three months in prison. At the sentencing hearing last month, the judge said he was making an example out of Peabody, who had served on the Mid-Atlantic Fisheries Council’s law enforcement subcommittee at the same time illegal aliens had been working on the family’s eight scallop boats. She paid a $50,000 fine and will also spend an additional four months on home confinement after her release. Her father, William Peabody, will serve five months of home confinement and paid $100,000 in fines. Hiring undocumented workers or foreign crew already in the United States on a B1/B2 visa who are or were employed by another megayacht at the time of their entry is prevalent in the yachting community. The prosecution of the Peabodys is a reminder that when federal authorities choose to enforce the law, the penalties can be stiff. John E. Holloway, the Peabodys’ attorney, had argued in court that the "government took a permissive approach to the presence of illegal aliens on commercial fishing vessels." The IRS mailed notifications that some of the alien registration numbers or social security numbers workers had provided the Peabodys could be fakes. Also, U.S. Coast Guard officials boarded the Peabodys’ boats at least 13 times from 2003 to 2007 and issued only warnings when illegal aliens were found aboard. Miami attorney Michael T. Moore said he hasn’t seen this severe of a punishment in a case like this before. "Illegal aliens are under the screen and that is very, very frustrating for the Department of Homeland Security," Moore said. "The fundamental confusion that most people make is they get lost in the weeds over the flag, but you never can violate the immigration laws of the United States no matter the flag." The yachting community is as vulnerable to the same kind of prosecution in the event the U.S. government decided to enforce the immigration laws, Moore said. But he also cautioned against drawing too many parallels to the Peabody case for a few reasons, chiefly because of how the Peabodys caught the attention of law enforcement. Prosecutors became interested in the Peabodys only after Yvonne Peabody’s boyfriend, a chief petty officer in the U.S. Coast Guard, got into trouble at work for e-mailing her confidential Coast Guard information. According to court documents, in 2004 Yvonne Peabody asked boyfriend Morris Wade Hughes to send her a Coast Guard picture showing areas closed to commercial fishing. Hughes then accessed a government database, downloaded the picture and sent it to her. The picture was not classified information, but Hughes’ superiors were not happy when they found out about it. They launched an investigation into Hughes that uncovered the illegal aliens working for the Peabodys. In December, Hughes was indicted on seven charges, including unlawful access to a government computer, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and unlawful disclosure of confidential information. At his February trial, prosecutors called to the stand Yvonne Peabody to testify against Hughes, who had also been charged with sending her information about the investigation into her family’s business. The Peabodys cooperated with prosecutors and worked out a plea deal, agreeing to the hefty fines and forfeitures. A jury convicted Hughes of three misdemeanors for passing along confidential information to Yvonne Peabody. But he was acquitted of the more serious conspiracy charge, which was a felony. He is scheduled to be sentenced later this year. Moore also said Newport News, Va., where the Peabodys’ business was based, is a tougher port because of its proximity to the U.S. Navy base in Norfolk. "When we have yachts going to Newport News, we ask them: ‘Do you have to go there?’" Moore said. "We’ve had too many troubles there. I have spoken to no less than then the head guy at Homeland Security, and at that location, they are taking no prisoners." http://www.the-triton.com/megayachtnews/index.php?news=2504
