My pops has a 2000 triton tr20x with champagne color with red pin and cherry red strips. After it was built my dads boat my dad got a call from triton telling him they want to put it in a magazine and etc..Also the X series is the best. With a 2 stroke evinrude outboard. Its so amazing
Just picked up a 1996 Hydra Sports LS205. All original pristine condition and never fished in tournaments. Evinrude 225 Vindicator, very low hours. Boat has not been molested with any aftermarket garbage. I bought from original owner and it’s been garage kept. Retirement boat with zero plans to get rid of. Brace yourself, paid $6,500.00. Boat run flawlessly and is a pleasure to drive. Boat still has a current style but simply not the price of new.
Absolutely Love my 01 TR21. Repowered it with a ProXS 250 a couple of years ago. Replaced the carpet with Seadeck this year. She is a great boat and easily the fastest in my club.
'08 TRITON 21X2 Merc 250. First boat ever! Bought it used last year for $25k. (280 hrs on engine). Upgraded elect.and Garmin Force (another $10k). These "X2" boats have pedestal mounted seats, btw. Rock solid boat as I begin to think about my retirement years! 54 gal. fuel tank placed midship. Not as wide as my BIL 2016 Ranger Z521C, but has a better holeshot than his...and mine is PAID OFF! LOVE IT! Shout out to "C&O MARINE"! (Good Good folks!) Hell of a deal on that '99 offering, too!
Hell Yeah finally a true Triton TR 20 Video. We have TR 20 and love it. Would love to get a Blast from the Past shirt or want ever you can put out. Many tournaments in this boat and many wins.
I love my older 04' triton tr20x. The x series is just a step up from the standard tr series. It sure is fun to pass guys in brand new 100k boats...those older tritons when setup correctly will fly!
The X series came out mostly because many had a hard time driving the early TR's. The TR pad wasn't flat. Those boats would fly if you knew how to drive. 😂 I worked for a dealership back then before opening my own and talked them to getting on the Triton Train in 1999. No telling how many we put on the water. I also fished Team Triton, use of a boat a year sometimes two a year memo billed for one year. I think I had 34 Tritons total. That's crazy. 😂. I was also a high speed bass boat driving instructor back then and specialized in engine setup. My boat history is crazy long. Prior to Triton Earl Bentz designed a hull for Javelin, a TS196 (I think). 19' w/a 96" beam 225 rated. I got hooked up with Javelin rep and got on the memo billing program. Hung a Rude 225 on a 1994 Javelin and ran it at 7,200 r's at 88mph. 😮 Wish I had kept that one just to play with. Ran across the guy that purchased it ten years later. He said engine still running. 😂 As Triton built the hulls more driver friendly that got a bit slower. With I had kept one of the old Tr20's and that 196 Javelin. Oh well. Worse thing was at WOT on the 225 Vindacator Rude you could watch the fuel gauge drop 😂😂.
@@EddieRobertsRiverGypsyawesome, I had a 96 javelin 389. It was a great boat. I’m in a stratos 201 now with a 250. Always been an earl bentz fan and OMC fan.
Y’all should do a blast from the past or over/under on a Stratus 189 VLO w/ 150HP. A buddy of mine just bought a 2013 VLO w/ 2013 Mercury ProXs 150 w/ 200hrs on engine, original owner, ALL paperwork, very mint condition, for $20k. Curious what you guys thoughts are on the VLO? Thanks
In case you people somehow have not heard about this.. Fastbass Marine in Kentucky just hung a Merc 450R on a Triton TR-20 and it ran 110MPH!!! I shit you not. If you have not seen the video I highly suggest you do so!
I love Triton but that isn't a great deal. I picked up my 2012 19 XS with a 2017 225 Pro Xs motor, power poles, and an Ultrex for 26K. Not as fast but it rides and fishes better than the old TR series.
I have a 2000 TR21. It was used for about a year as a camera boat on a TV show, but I'm the first registered owner. It has the original 225 Optimax, and I fished local tournaments with this boat since the day I took it home. I do routine maintenance myself, and recently finished updating it with a Ghost and Ionic 125AH lithium batteries for the trolling motor and electronics. I updated my electronics as often as possible (money wise), and now have two 12" Carbons, a 10" Pro Lowrance, Active Target 2, new carpet with pad on the front deck and deck lids. I also updated the trailer with new brake pads, master cylinder, wheel bearings, suspension bushings, LED lighting. That's about where I've stopped at the moment. I still need to replace the carpet in the seating area and back deck. And, I need to start looking for replacement seat skins. I swore it'd be the last boat I'd buy, but the new ones are sooo nice, it's hard not to look and wish!
Your right. I had a 2008 Triton and you had to drive it. I now have a 2024 TRX19. It does walk but not as bad. It's slower than the older Triton boats, but the ride is way better.

I have a 99 Tr-19 with the 175hp EFI. I've hit 73.2mph with it.
Had a 02 TR22/DC for 22 years , great boat still running on ky lake
The boat you need to run from the dam to J'ville
How about offering a team marine camo series, especially a warm hoodie.
@@USAsportsmanIdaho awesome idea! We will do that
I got a 1997 tr21 with a 2019 yamaha 225hp. Love it and enjoy passing those new boats in tournaments
I love my older 04' triton tr20x. The x series is just a step up from the standard tr series. It sure is fun to pass guys in brand new 100k boats...those older tritons when setup correctly will fly!
My old boat will run off and hide from my fine new 70mph boat but I'd hate to have to go back! 😂
Buddy of mine has a 250 sho hanging on the back on his and it’s missing nothing but the Cadillac badges. Sweet boat

I love my 07 Triton fast and reliable thanks Neil
had 2000 tr-21 and loved it!
Thank you for loving us veterans 🇺🇸
Great video ! When are you going to do Ranger !
Neil rocks it in Triton!
Dude it’s an Earl Bentz boat, Quality is a 10.
You should do a build and review on the Vexas aluminum boats.
Neil! Nice pick...skinny boats but fast as snot! All composite too. Nice video on a boat we all can afford
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
I have a 2000 tr-20 with an 08 200 opti and couldn’t ask for better boat
Been in a few they are solid boats. Had one on the Columbia River in a invitational. It chine walked kinda bad. But still a good boat
I have the same year 21 ft. With 225 optimax. I hit 72 with 2 guys fully loaded. No lithium

Please more of these videos! Do some walleye boats and tinners! You could do a smoking deal and then do a bad deal.
Wish you get the champ back up and running
How bout a blast from the past on NORRIS CRAFT?!? .... Please? Love the content.🔥👊💯
I have a 2006 TR186 since new. The boat has held up well, the trailer is shot.
Neil's favorite boat is a Triton rock the Johnny Morris special
Neil this is for you!
We need a Blast from the Past on the Cobra 201

Do you have to use a dfi oil in a merc optimax dfi or will regular tcw 3 be ok? Can I use Pennzoil synthetic in my 16 optimax 250?
Also in an earlier post on another vid the six beeps was oil tank sensor on motor mounted tank

Triton's still going to be made in 2025 or Johnny phasing them out next year ?
Idk when but I will not be surprised if they go away
If memory serves me correctly, a 250 on a 1999 Tr20 is overpowered.
100%. 200 rated
1999 TR20 19’8”, rated for a 200.

Never fished out of an older triton and didn’t respect it.
Un-discount for a price increase lol!
✅💰💸💵🤑💲🤣
Those older Triton TR hulls like to chine walk, better learn to drive it!
Your right. I had a 2008 Triton and you had to drive it. I now have a 2024 TRX19. It does walk but not as bad. It's slower than the older Triton boats, but the ride is way better.
