Tritons Riding

Featured Replies

Okay lol now we're looking at a 2005 tr20 triton with 200 merc on the back. But my dad has heard things about tritons likee that they dont ride very good or they wobble or swerve on plane.Any experience with them?thanks

At a certain speed tritons tend to "walk".  You will need to set up the boat  correctly to counter some of the walk. 

A TR-20 with a 200 strapped on I don't think you will have to worry about the boat chinewalking.  In fact I think it could have trouble without the right prop of even getting out of the hole.  The TR-20 is a pretty heavy boat.

I'm thinking you might see low 60's max.

As far as ride, I think it has a really good ride. My dad has a 20x2 and it handles rough stuff really well.

One of the guys i fish with has a tr 19 with a 200 and when i ride in it is really smooth.

U sure just low 60s?Cause we had a ranger fish n ski with big windows with more wind resistance and its hull wasnt really designed for speed as much as a full on bass boat and it had 150 horsepower and it could hit like 59 i think

i have a tr 186 with a 150 and it rides just fine. nice and dry unless you get into some really messy stuff.

I have ridden in every make of boat over the years and the Triton has the smoothest and the driest ride on the market with the Bass Cat coming in a close second.   I own a 21X with a 225 Opti and can get 71 mph with just me aboard.

Yes, low to mid 60's w/ a gps verifying that not the speedo.  Even though it is not one of the x series boats it's still a 200 on a heavy 20 foot boat.

Now if you are running it with only one person, no gear, and half a tank of gas or less you might see upper 67-70 mph.  But under normal fishing conditions with your gear, your partners gear, etc. It will be closer to 60-63 maybe 64.

Oh by the way anyone know any good sites to find bass boats?have to be within 5 hours of us cause we dont wanna drive that far and look at a boat and find out we dont like it. But i use Craigslist,westernbass,boat trader,bass boat outlet,boat boss...Any other ones?thanks :)

We got a TR 196 with a 200 HPDI and it will run 72 empty and 68-70 loaded.  It starts to walk pretty bad at about 65 though.
