Triton boats,

March 20th, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in 123triad

At Triton, they’re proud of the way our boats look, but we believe it’s what’s inside that really counts. Triton boats feature the most advanced design, materials, construction methods and safety engineering in the entire fishing boat industry. As you’ll see, they use aircraft technology in our hull construction - there’s no wood in a Triton boat. Their innovative engineering approach enables every Triton hull to carry a lifetime warranty, plus a three-year warranty on most Triton-installed components. And, most important of all, every Triton boat is designed and built with your complete safety in mind.Most fiberglass fishing boats are built with wood in such strategic areas as the stringer system, transom, deck and floor.Over time, wood can rot, leading to structural failures. Even wood thoroughly encapsulated with fiberglass still contains water and can expand and contract over time, which may lead to delamination. It’s impossible to bond wood and fiberglass chemically.

Like other fiberglass boats, a Triton is built from the inside out. But that’s where the similarity ends. They use state-of-the-art gelcoats and baby their molds so your Triton boat has a brilliant mirror finish that’ll last a lifetime.Every Triton features hand-laid construction and AME 1000 resin for greater strength and uniformity without excess weight. Many competing manufacturers use extensive chopper gun construction in their boats.Triton boats, like fine automobiles, are built with unibody construction. When under power, the entire boat moves as a single unit, greatly reducing vibration that can result in transom failure. Unibody construction provides superior strength, while.The backbone of every Triton boat is our amazing stringer system. Many competing boat brands use wood stringers encapsulated in fiberglass, but Triton uses a one-piece composite and fiberglass stringer system for unparalleled strength and rigidity.
