    I agree. If you have trouble with the XS, or TRX you will definitely have an issue with the TR or even the HP hulls.

    Not like I use to. According to Triton's website, 6 MILF pros and 2 BASS pros. I didnt see Shaw Grigsby on their website. Maybe he finally retired. To me, 8 pro staffers is not away to make a big splash.

    I wish pro staffers were non existent for all manufacturers. Just something we have to pay for.

    I couldn't agree more. However, I think prostaff help advertise and sell a brand. It kinda seems Triton is WRM step child brand.

    Iv bought two Tritons. Neithe was influenced by Prostaff. The decision was mainly based on the dealer. I went to a couple other boat brand dealers and they literally treated me like a Peasant bc I wasn't looking at flagship 21 foot boats (that wouldnt fit in my garage).

    Unfortunately the dealer no longer sells Triton, so this will probably be my last Triton. With that being said, they make great boats. Mine was built in the Flippin plant and Iv beat the crap out of it. The motor has 980 hours on it so its been well used.

    The boat, when its clean is new condition.

    They dont have hardly any pro staff left, and you dont see their name on any banners at MLF or Bassmaster events, or maybe I just didnt see it.

    I was thinking that the dealers around me who sold Triton were selling them good bc I see alot of Tritons on my local body of water. When I went and looked they had more 2023s then they did 24s.

    The other dealer didnt sell Trition anymore they turned to Skeeter.

    As far as apparel, they use to have have some good stuff, now they hardly have anything.

    To me, it seems, WRM is kind of putting Triton on its back burner and leaning more on Nitro and Ranger.

    Again, Im not starting the 10 + year old rumor again, just a simple question from one Triton onwer to others.
    .
    I bought my triton in 2021 and the place I bought it from closed. They sold Ranger, Ranger aluminum, Triton, Xpress, and some pontoon and one other brand of center console aluminum. That was the only triton dealer around my area. Bass Pro really doesn't push them around here either.

    They have my attention and will be one that I consider heavy about this time next year. Tell me this, you have a digital screen on the right, what all does it control? And then the standard switches on the left, which is what I like!
    Just be kind to one another. It really is that simple.

    I have only heard great things from the XP lineup. Kudos to Triton here.

Personally I see the Triton line going away and WRM making that up with Camas and Nitro sells.
    You must've bought from Airport Marine. I have a 2023 Triton 18TRX. They had knocked off a good chunk of the price. They told me the same thing and now they carry IKON, Bass Cat Skeeter, and Vexus

    One thing I really like about the new Tritons is they use rotary switches instead of a touch pad like the Rangers and Nitros have. I don't like the touch pad in my 2012 Triton at all.

    all of the boat companies are cutting pro staff or discounted boats to folks whatever you want to call it with the invent of the net the companies dont have to have as many pro staff because during covid they were selling all they can make now with the downturn in the business it will be like all the other boats that are not built anymore when sales wont support the brand it will go away too.
