I'm not a big tiller expert; in fact, I've never fished from one. But I've looked at them a lot trying to find a way to reduce costs on a large boat (I live on Lake Erie and have limited cabbage). I'll bet the triton is a good hull, dry and fast, and I bet it flys with a 150. The walk around deck is really nice, and I like the non-carpeted floor for easy clean-up. However, I don't like the layout in the boat. The electronics console seems too far back; I'd prefer it a foot or so forward and with a lockable door (if not for electronics, then for 'other' gear). The front deck seems like it wastes too much space between the large bin and the bow; I realize it's probably floatation, but still seems like a waste. Last, I hate how the passengers are all lined up in the center of the boat. It probably balances really well, but there would be major obstructions to visibility. If buying off the lot, the last issue would be a deal breaker. If ordering, I'd have them offset the passenger seats. Although, if the right deal came along, I'd be hard pressed to turn any boat down.
I prefer the Yarcraft and Tuffy tillers, although opinions are real cheap from boat-less trash.
